LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Company Profile

 

This is a private limited company established by Mr A Padmasingh Isaac.  He was born in Nazareth a small town in Tirunelveli Dist of Tamilnadu where he lived for sometime a quiet and unobtrusive life.  However, once he had in his hands a degree in business administration the single minded focus and determination that he had led him to move to Chennai in 1976 to establish a company of his own.  First he joined the marketing division of Godrej Soaps and got good training there – a leading FMCG company.  With the experience he gained there he started a small firm to manufacture liquid blue a clothes whitener solution.  He packed the same in small sachets and sold them for Re. 1 (Indian rupee one).  The item was so popular that it became the rage of the middle class of South India for whitening soiled white clothes such as children’s uniform, workers uniform etc.

 

In 1998 worldly wise by now, he started the brand Aachi  for spices and Indian masala and got the name registered.  With that was born Aachi Masala Foods P Ltd in 1998.  From humble beginnings the company has done a turnover of Rs.3240.000 millions in the year 2009-2010.     His journey has been a rough ride throughout.  There were times when the founder himself with three salesmen used to make periodic visits to his outlets and procure orders or deliver materials Soon he realized that the demand for small packaged consumer goods in the rural areas was very high. He capitalized on this by selling directly to markets on cash basis.  Half a dozen years later he realized the necessity of appointing dealers.  Today Aachi has 3000 agents and six lakh retailers to sell their products in Tamilnadu and neighboring states.

 

Today Aachi is a household name.  They only have to switch on the Television in South India and every half an hour you will have an advertisement exhibiting Aachi products.

 

Besides all the major South Indian States, Aachi has also penetrated the market in Maharashtra and West Bengal, not to mention the fact that they now have an international market.  With the significant South Indian population living abroad, the demand has spread through word of mouth and Aachi exports actively to several countries around the world.

 

Be not skeptical about the magnitude of the task it undertakes, given that Aachi products must reach consumers through 3000 agents and six lakh retailers. With the company having witnessed an annual growth rate in the range of 40%, Isaac is hopeful of doubling production capacity by 2011.  He is supported in his endeavors by Mrs Thelma Issac, his wife who is also the MD of Nazareth Foods P Ltd sister concern of Aachi.  Their two sons are also interested the family business and are under training in various departments of the company. 

 

The company is ISO 9001 certified.
