Storied south Indian family, best known for tractor manufacturer Tractors & Farm Equipment (TAFE) and diesel engine maker Simpson & Co, are descendants of late founder S. Anantharamakrishnan. The group, an agglomeration of 40 companies, is chaired by the founder's son A. Krishnamoorthy. TAFE, run by his niece Mallika Srinivasan, counts U.S. agri-equipment maker AGCO as its partner. She also sits on the boards of AGCO, Tata Steel and Tata Global Beverages.
