In 1930, Raman referred to the immense contributions made by Krishnamurti in the Nobel lecture:

<blockquote>I should also like to draw attention to the work of Krishnamurti, who has traced a remarkable dependence of the intensity of the spectral lines observed in scattering on the nature of the chemical bond, and followed the transition from the homopolar to the heteropolar type of chemical combination. Krishnamurti’s observation that the paramagnetism of crystals apparently influences the observed intensity of the displaced lines is one of the most remarkable
ever made in this new field of research."<ref>https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1930/raman-lecture.pdf</ref></blockquote>

Krishnamurti and Raman started a company called Travancore Chemical & Manufacturing in 1943, with Raman as the Chairman and Krishnamurti as the Managing Director. They established four factories across south India and the company was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. For over 5 decades, the company was a leader in the manufacture of [[copper sulphate]], [[sodium chlorate]] and other chemicals.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/cvramans-gift-to-kochi/article28370081.ece | title=C.V.Raman's gift to Kochi | date=15 April 2002 | newspaper=The Hindu | accessdate=7 July 2020 }}</ref><ref>http://www.tcmlimited.in/AOA-2015.pdf</ref>
