P.S Tamarind

For so long, tamarinds were sold individually, sold in loose and without consistent hygiene or quality. But that changed when P.S Tamarind opened in 1936. P.S Tamarind was the first company to introduce packaged tamarinds, pioneering the sale of tamarind in a unique cuboid shape, soon becoming synonymous with quality and integrity. At present, P.S. Tamarind is not only the largest seller of packaged Indian Tamarind in the world, but the only company currently selling tamarinds packaged in it’s unique and ergonomic package style. P.S Tamarind, started out as a small and local grocery store, opened by a man named P. Shanmugam, who had moved to the small southern town of Kumbakonam and open his dream store. Over time, he travelled not only across the country, but across a plethora of locations globally, forming connections, broadening his knowledge, and slowly expanding his business until it eventually became the international, corporate superpower it is today. And, it wasn’t just the business, but Shanmugam himself who rose in prominence, eventually becoming the head of the States’ Traders Association. Among his many accolades and accomplishment, standing in place of honor is the production machines that he and his company invented, ones which stand leagues above those their competitors and their modern machines could even fathom, even as of 2024.
