Q. In the early 1900s while India was still under the British rule, one of the strongest manifestations of mass awakening was the desire to patronize all that was 'Swadeshi' (Made in India). Great Indian patriots and eminent businessmen like Shri Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Sir Ratanji Jamshedji Tata, amongst others conceived the idea of a chain of co-operative stores across India.
And thus this chain of stores in question came into existence on 14th December, 1905. On December 17th, 1906, the flagship store was inaugurated by Dr. Dadabhai Naoroji. The store was then located at the present Times of India Building, on D.N. Road, Mumbai. In 1938, it shifted to its present location on Sir Pherozeshah Mehta Road. What chain am I talking about?
