The tiles market in Kerala is a highly competitive sector. CMK Group, headquartered in Kanhangad, is a successful company that has introduced a brand of its own in this sector where many national and international brands are making their debut. CMK Kunhabdulla was a person with years of service in the field of marketing of branded tiles. During his tenure, he has established an excellent relationship with most of the distributors and tiles manufacturers. So in 2016, he introduced his own brand Toyota Tiles in Kerala. This brand, which started from Kanhangad in Kasaragod district, is now present in half of the districts of Kerala and some districts of Karnataka. The founder of the organization, CMK Kunhabdulla, talks to Vijayagatha about the people's committee of the organization and its history.
In fact, Kunhabdulla is not a misguided entrepreneur. At the age of 18, Kunhabdulla started working as an assistant in his father's business, who was a businessman in the building material retail sector. After that, he comes to work in the field of marketing of brand tiles. The experience of working as an assistant in his father's business also helped him a lot in the field of marketing tiles. It was at this point that he thought why not start his own tile brand. Thus, in 2016, he entered the industry as an entrepreneur by introducing wall tiles to the market under the brand name Toyota. From the beginning, Kunjabdulla tried to be at the forefront of quality and service. This activity has resulted positively in the growth of the brand. Customers of Toyota Tiles have welcomed it with open arms. Kunhabdulla says that it is a matter of pride to have achieved these achievements in just one and a half years.
After completion of two years, he introduced Hayato, Indiana, Volten, Koraton-Vitrified Floor Tile, and more brands in the market. Kunhabdullah's policy of providing excellent service to every customer and distributor has led him to success. Also, he is able to accurately identify the new trends and changes in the international market and bring them to our market without delay. "Ten Multi Color Technology" which completely beautifies the floor and wall was introduced by Toyota for the first time in India.
Toyota Tile is marketed in Kerala from Kasaragod to Ernakulam, and the company also has products in South Kanara district in Karnataka. Kunhabdulla is trying to bring its products to the whole of Kerala by the next financial year. The turning point in CM Kunjabdullah's life was finding his own space in the field where he worked and developing 5 brands. Kunjabdulla proudly says that when many people leave the familiar field and start other ventures and fail, choosing the known field is beneficial for the growth of the enterprise.
