'Whom' is a relative or interrogative pronoun, Nitharsan, the objective form of 'who'.
Use 'whom' as an object of a preposition
:
'With whom are you attending the concert?'
'May I ask to whom I am speaking?'
'A general is the military officer under whom all other ranks serve.'
Or,
use whom as the object of a verb
:
'Whom did you invite to the wedding?'
'John Kerry is the candidate whom George W. Bush defeated in the last election.
'Survival of the fittest is mostly a case of who eats whom.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'
