Obit: K. Ravindran of Maxwell

K. Ravindran, fondly known as ‘Maxwell’ Ravi to everyone who knew him, passed away on July 21, 2020.

It will not be far from the truth to say that ‘Maxwell’ Ravi was a household name in Mylapore and around for his dedication to customer service in the field of home electronics servicing.

Maxwell was the shop, here for decades which specialised in repair and service of electronic goods.

He maintained a special relationship with his clientele beyond business and possessed a limitless capacity to remember his customer’s names and personal details, his family said.

He was known to be a patient teacher, explaining the fundamentals of electronic circuits to novices.

His wife Veni Ravi said, “While he suffered a debilitating neurological illness for the last 20 years, he rarely complained and chose to deal with pain through humor.”

He leaves behind his wife, sons, daughter-in-law and grandson.

Maxwell, founded by Ravi’s father and expanded under Ravi, will continue Ravi’s legacy under R. K Rajesh.
