History of SASTHA Sesame Oil

In the year 1977, two young visionaries- Mr. S. Thiagarajan & Mr. M. Ramesh- understood the potential of Sesame and decided to venture into the business of producing and distributing sesame oil across the globe. Financial aid being a problem, they set up their business in a small 32 sq.ft. rented space in a rice mill compound. They named their brand ‘Sastha’ in praise of Lord Ayyappa and invested their childhood savings to start production. In the year 1980, getting a bank loan for Rs. 5000 was a huge challenge, but they ensured that they left no stone unturned in growing their business. Hard work and dedication fetched amazing results over the years; what began as a small partnership firm soon developed into a large scale business. Today, Thiagarajan Agro Products (P) Ltd. is a registered Private Company and has expanded its production unit from a 32 sq. ft. rented space to a mammoth 40,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art plant on a 10-acre land in Madurai.
