Muthoot takes its name from its Family, which is a branch of a traditional Orthodox Christian family, based in Kozhencherry, a small town in the erstwhile primary state of Travancore. (Kerala). In the year 1887, Muthoot Ninan Mathai (Patron Founder of The Group - Muthoot Blue), started in a humble way as a retail and whole-sale trader of grains at Kozhencherry. These wholesale goods were mainly supplied to the large Estates owned by British Companies. Later, understanding the unmet saving needs of the estates workers, Mr. Ninan Mathai, started the Chit Funds business on a philanthropic motive, as an avenue for saving. Initially, it was started solely for the workers, but later was floated outside the estate. The business grew slowly but steadily along with its share of ups and downs.
