The year 1952 saw Thachappillil Sankunni Nair retire from the Travancore Cochin State Service and he invested a lordly sum of Rs.1500 in a 1939 Oldsmobile to run as a taxi in the extended village that was the then Ernakulam. It was the genesis of Ensign group of Institutions. In 1954 the car was changed to a Dodge Fluid Drive and later on to a Landmaster. His only son Sukumaran who was an amateur photographer had his induction into photography after a brief apprenticeship at Krishnan Nair Brothers and after his university education he started the Ensign Photos in 1959. Development was at a snail pace and the longest run for a taxi was to Trichur or Sabarimala. Photography was a luxury of the affluent limited to weddings and project progress. We have air-conditioned coches and non air conditioned coches plying daily from Cochin to these cities.
