Our Legacy
Seventy five years back R.S. KRISHNA & CO was started as a small home industry. We manufactured Thennamarakkudi oil at Mayiladuthurai in our own house at Chetty street, Mayiladuthurai Mr. Santhanakrishna Naidu was the first man in Tamilnadu who manufactured this Siddha medicinal oil according to the formula of the ancient Siddhas, which was meant for all joint aches and pains; his wife Rukmani Ammal, who was the able and efficient helper to the founder was the moving spirit behind the company, and its growth.
After the founder his able and efficient son Mr. R.S.K.V. Raghavan took over the industry. He purchased a house in the same street at 72, Chetty Street and established the industry there. He increased the labourers and installed one automatic oil filling machine to meet the increasing demand of the oil in the state. He was greatly assisted by his three sons S.V. Gopalakrishnan, S.V. Kaliaraj and S.V. Pandurangan.
When the business was enlarged the existing place of factory was found to be inadequate and was forced to have a big place to meet the demands. So they purchased a big plot just infront of their existing factory in the year 2001 and constructed a new modern factory to meet all the demands. The oil is now seeing the Fourth Generation, who are more efficient, modern and initiative. R.S.
