K. Krupadanam was the Indian President of the Protestant Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church Society and served for a short period from 1961-1962. His tenure was embroiled in a legal wrangle but ultimately the AELC Church Society won the case. As part of the continuing dialogue between the newly formed Church of South India and the other Protestant Churches, Krupadanam along with William P. Peery were involved in the negotiations.
