Quilon Radio Service popularly known as QRS was started by two brothers of the A.R.A.S.D family from Tuticorin - Sri D Arunachalam and Sri D Thilagarajan. They were assisted by their brothers Sri D Shenbhagamurthi, Sri D Ganesan and Sri D Shunmugam. The store was named Quilon Radio Service as it first opened its doors in Quilon (presently known as Kollam): servicing radios! Over the years, the core group has remained members of the family and has strived to bring QRS to the forefront of this industry. It presently has three generations working together to uphold its name.
