The Birth of Madras Chamber:

Eighteen businessmen of Madras met at the office of Binny & Co. on the 29th September 1836 and unanimously resolved "that an Association be formed in Madras as Madras Chamber of Commerce". These founding members with John Alves Arbuthnot as the Chairman made up the first Committee of the Chamber.
