The DM Group, formerly known as the Mantri Group, was founded by Late Mr. Govind Prasad Mantri in 1948.

Subsequently, the group has expanded substantially not only in the tea industry, but has also created a presence for itself in the auto components manufacturing business, after its foray into the engineering industry in 1978.
