How did KCCI begin? And what did Mangalore look like when it all started?

Before KCCI became the institution it is today, there was a different Mangalore. A small temple town. A growing trading centre. And a community of people who saw the need to build something that could bring business and industry together.

KCCI Chronicles goes back to the beginning to uncover the story, the people, the challenges, and the vision that shaped the institution over the decades.

This is where the story begins.
