Service in the Indian Army
A career shaped by discipline, courage and responsibility, including active service during two wars.
The story behind GLAV
Service built the leader. Integrity built the business.
Colonel A.S. Sundaram’s journey—from the Indian Army and the Ministry of Home Affairs to international enterprise—is the foundation of Glav Trade Resources.
Leadership first
Colonel A.S. Sundaram
A soldier, public servant and business leader whose life has been defined by courage, discipline and service to the nation.
Colonel Sundaram served with distinction in both the Indian Army and the Ministry of Home Affairs. During his military career, he participated in two wars and survived a bomb explosion while serving on active duty.
His dedication and contribution to the nation earned recognition from the Government of India, including three awards for excellence in service. At GLAV, that same sense of duty has become a business philosophy: honour every commitment, act with integrity and build relationships that endure.
Leadership forged in service. Enterprise guided by integrity.
