Who we are
Unwrapping the Ageless Beauty Mysteries of Sri Shanmugananda's Products
Once upon a time, amidst the lush forests of India, a visionary named Late Sri Srinivasa Setty embarked on a quest to revolutionize hair care. In the year 1944, he founded SRI SHANMUGANANDA SOAP NUT WORKS with a simple yet profound idea – to offer a premium hair care solution that would leave consumers with healthy, luscious locks.
Drawing inspiration from age-old traditions, Sri Srinivasa Setty recognized the immense potential of Shikakai Powder, a natural wonder revered for centuries across India and Far East countries for its Hair and Skin benefits. Traditionally, obtaining Shikakai involved trekking into the forests, harvesting the pods, and painstakingly processing them into powder.

Recognizing the opportunity to transform this ancient practice into a modern marvel, Sri Shanmugananda Soap Nut Works was born. With meticulous care, the finest quality Shikakai pods were sourced, processed into exquisite powder, and meticulously packed in precise quantities for discerning consumers. Through decades of dedication and unwavering commitment to quality, Sri Shanmugananda Soap Nut Works has become synonymous with premium hair care, bringing the timeless beauty secrets of Shikakai to people worldwide. Today, the legacy continues, honoring Sri Srinivasa Setty’s vision and leaving a trail of healthy, radiant hair in its wake. The journey of SRI SHANMUGANANDA SOAP NUT WORKS Today, that legacy lives on through his sons, Mr. S. Vishwanath Gupta, Mr. S. Ramakrishna, and Mr. S. Sridhar. With unwavering dedication, they’ve expanded the brand’s reach, touching the hearts of consumers with unparalleled quality.
