Govindan Paramaswaran Pillai was born in Alathoor in Kerala, India, in an aristocratic nair family.

After gaining a B.A. at the University of Madras he was admitted to the Middle Temple in London in 1898, where he was called to the bar in 1902. He was one of earliest practising advocates in the High Court of Madras. He later established the first English language newspaper in South India: the Madras Standard.
