Nalli is an Indian wardrobe store and silk saree emporium based in Chennai.
It is one of the oldest saree shops in the Chennai's commercial neighbourhood of T. Nagar.

In 1928, he moved to the then Madras and became one of the first to open a shop in the neighbourhood of T. Nagar which was founded in the early 1920s.
