What if losing everything was the moment your real journey began?
For Mr. Kumaresan Kuppanan, a painful betrayal didn’t end his career, it started a legacy. That turning point gave birth to K.E. Travel & Tours, now one of Malaysia’s most trusted names in corporate and event travel.
This is not just a travel brand story.
This is a bounce-back story Gen Z and Millennials live for.
When Life Pushes You Out, Build Your Own Door 🚪
Back in 2007, Mr. Kumaresan along with his wife, Mrs. Eswary poured their time, savings, and heart into helping a relative grow a travel business. No contracts. Just trust.
When success arrived, jealousy came with it. They told him to walk away with nothing, unaware that he carried with him experience, knowledge, fire, and an unyielding will.
Instead of bitterness, he chose belief.
K.E. Travel & Tours was born K for Mr. Kumaresan, E for his wife Mrs. Eswary. A business named after love, resilience, and partnership.
Licensed by Malaysia’s tourism authorities, the company started small brochures in hand, knocking doors in Kuala Lumpur, selling budget trips just to survive.
Some days? Losses.
Some trips? Three passengers and negative margins.
Quitting? Never an option.
What kept them moving forward was his indomitable spirit, principal support and Silent strength which was his wife.
The Turning Point That Changed Everything
Then came KL Sentral.
A single opportunity.
A high-traffic location.
And suddenly momentum.
Transport demand surged. Corporate clients followed. Group bookings scaled fast. What started as survival turned into strategy.
Lesson from Mr. Kumaresan:
“Don’t rush success. Let consistency do the work.”

A 15-Year Client Relationship That Says It All
One Australian sports organizer couldn’t find a reliable Malaysian partner. A driver handed over Mr. Kumaresan’s card.
No fancy pitch.
No face-to-face meeting.
The client transferred a large amount before even landing in Malaysia nervous but hopeful.
Everything went perfectly.
