WHERE WE WERE:

When a young boy of 17 who was determined to become a successful man in life, joined as a cook in a small hotel near Hatton in Srilanka in 1945, little did he know that one day he will create his own empire.The substandard quality of masalas manufactured by the owners themselves in the hotel that he was employed, disturbed that passionate young boy who could not compromise with the quality of the masalas which were sold to the people. So he set out to start his own business joining hands with two other friends. Perseverance and hard work along with many trials and errors finally enabled him to find the exact ratio for the best finely ground masalas of the region. The appreciation and support of the people resulted in the founding of Mallika Grinding Mills. The journey started then in 1954! The exclusive masala powder was manufactured in a special natural stone plate to obtain the original flavour and aroma of the heaven of spices, Ceylon spice ( now Srilanka). That attracted robust customers for the brand MGM in and around Hatton.

WHAT WE ARE:

Over the years, through hard work, dedication and passion for business, the 17 year old, the founder of MGM, late Shri D.RamasamyNaidu, fondly called as Kochikkaa Mudalaali( owner of chillie) built his own empire of spice grinding factory. The brand has come a long way from selling spice masalas in pouches to a mid size factory with 35 employees whose lives have seen a better standard of living. The products started entering the market across the island. "Our mission is to add richness to the food on your table by delivering quality and hygienic products with integrity." The chillies are carefully chosen,well cleaned, specially inspected, finely ground using high technology and packed hygienically and most importantly freshly prepared and sold to the customers.
