Biography
Abdul Hameed was born to M. K. Mackar Pillay, a prominent Aluva industrialist and politician, as the second of three sons.

In 1935, Hameed became a partner of M. K. Mackar Pillay & Sons, one of the largest trading firms in the Kingdom of Travancore. The company was the first to challenge the monopoly of British trading firms in the Malabar coast by directly exporting essential oils.
