**Vijayawada, India – September 11, 2025 -** Sudarshan Venu, Managing Director of TVS Motor Company Limited, has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), one of India’s most revered and wealthiest temple trusts. The appointment fills a vacancy left by Justice (Retd.) H.L. Dattu, who was appointed in November 2024 but never took office.
The official order, G.O. Ms. No. 329, was issued by M. Hari Jawaharlal, Ex-Officio Secretary (Revenue – Endowments). The appointment, made under Section 96 (1) of the AP Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act of 1987, marks Venu’s second term serving on the TTD Trust Board. The government had previously constituted the TTD Board with 29 members as per G.O. Ms. No.243.
The TTD manages the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala and associated institutions, playing a significant role in religious and charitable activities. Venu’s business acumen and experience are expected to contribute to the effective management of the trust.
