P. Govindasamy Pillai grew up in an Indian village in Koorainadu. In his teens, he ran away from home and boarded a ship en route to Singapore. In 1905, he set foot on Singapore.
He worked hard to finnd employment and after numerous futile attempts, he sealed a job in a provision stall at 50 Serangoon Road. He was confronted with backbreaking labour during his time working there. Surprisingly, he had absoltely no wages! Inspite of this dreadful condotions, he bid his time, being only provided accomodation and food. However, it was during this time that he learnt the important skills necessary for business.
