When T Ramaiah and Brother set up their Textiles shop in Chickpet, Bangalore City, he joined and learned the skills of persuasion customers to make their purchases, even today when we go for purchasing silk fabrics in Chickpet you can observe shopkeeper's persuasion skills.

He entrepreneur skills impressed his business associate enabling him to set up silk weaving factories and Yajaman Silk House a well-known shop, which was situated in Devanga Market, Sri Devara Dasmayayya Road, Bengaluru.

.On behalf of the members of Devanga Sangha, Devanga Hostel Road Bengaluru, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to our founding members for devoting their time and resources for establishing Devanga Sangha Bengaluru in the year 1923/24. On 12th February 1924 Government of then Mysore officially recognized Devanga Sangha.
