In the following years, the road became part of the city’s central business district. Several renowned corporations have their headquarters on Mount Road- The Amalgamations Group and the TVS Group to name two. Other prominent buildings on this road include, the LIC (Life Insurance Corporation ) building and the Spencers Plaza Mall.
