Tirupati: A Hyderabad-based entrepreneur has contributed ₹1.10 crore to two trusts run by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the custodian of Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirumala.
Kodali Srikanth, founder and managing director of Kapston Services, on Tuesday donated ₹1 crore to Sri Venkateswara Anna Prasadam Trust and ₹10 lakh to Sri Venkateswara Gosamrakshana Trust. He handed over the donation demand drafts to TTD additional executive officer Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary at the Ranganayakula Mandapam inside the Srivari temple in Tirumala.
