This list of corporate groups and holding companies in Tamil Nadu highlights a concentration of large, established firms, many with significant employee counts. Companies like Murugappa Group, a conglomerate with diverse interests from agriculture to manufacturing, and TVS Motor Company, a global manufacturer of two and three-wheelers, exemplify this trend.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
