COMPANY PROFILE

The most successful businesses are those that combine a fine understanding of the customer's needs with an uncompromising attitude towards addressing them, both backed by strong business acumen. In 1973, A. C Venkatachalapathy provided living proof of this adage. As small nuclear families started becoming the norm in urban India, the pressure on the average housewife became higher. Husbands and children needed to be breakfasted; lunch had to be packed for office and school; all this by 9 am with little to no domestic help. 

“OUT OF THE HOUSEWIFE'S PROBLEM, SWASTIKS WAS BORN.”

From home business to a part of every home commencing as a home-business, Swastiks grew slowly but steadily thanks to the vision, quality consciousness and keen business acumen of our Founder, A.C Venkatachalapathy. Knowing fully well that the housewife would insist on preparing food for her family only with the purest of ingredients, he personally sourced the spices that went into his powders. Gradually we developed a growing base of loyal customers, who trusted only our products for their kitchen. In 1984 we opened our first factory and there was no looking back

Over the next four decades Swastiks has grown into a Rs. 400 crore FMCG company and one of the leading packaged food brands in South India. Today, we have eight manufacturing units, a centralized modern packaging unit and a team of 1000 committed employees. All of which works to provide India's discerning consumers with a rich portfolio of high quality food products through a network of 1000 dealers. What began as a family business operating out of the Founder's house is now a professionally managed corporate house that works with the same values that our Founder instilled in us at inception. Swastiks is not just a household word but an indispensable and much loved member of every home.
