The Journey- Beginning

Way back in 1972 a young entrepreneur K.P. Gopinath boldly stepped into baby food manufacturing. Till then the industry was dominated by giant transnational’s. Local companies could not even dream of daring into the industry. Full faith in his vision and nothing could deter him from putting his vision to reality. Being a man of scientific orientation belonging to a family of clinicians, Mr. Gopinath chose Ragi (Eleusine Coracana, gaertn) as the basic ingredient. The fact that the World Health Organisation also chose Ragi as the ideal weaning food for tropical countries reinforced Mr. Gopinath's conviction…..Rest Is History. He started with a small facility with a capacity of 1 tonne per day at Kothamangalam in Central Kerala, India. Over the years the brand 'Ragitone' became a household name wherever Malayalees live, across the world. The commissioning of the new production facility in Pollachi in Tamil Nadu stepped up production capacity to 5 tonnes per day. Gradually the product port folio was stretched to add 'Ragivitta' herb enriched food supplement for diabetic patients and 'Jeevans Baby Massage Oil', complete skin care from the treasure house of Ayurveda.
