MTR was founded in 1924 in Bangalore as a restaurant by Parampalli Yajnanarayana Maiya and his brothers. In the 1970s, MTR expanded with new locations in Bangalore and Chennai, and began selling pre-packaged foods under the brand MTR Foods. Major changes in the 1990s led to two separate entities for the restaurant and food businesses. MTR Foods now sells products globally and its packaged foods and recipes can be found in home kitchens across countries like the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, and others.
