Towards 70 Years of Tradition and Trust: S.S. Pandian & Sons Continue Their Aromatic Legacy

SMPL
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], July 29: S.S. Pandian & Sons (SSP), India's most trusted name in asafoetida (hing), is about to celebrates its 70-years milestone. Since 1957, the family-run company has stayed true to founder Sri S. S. Pandian's belief that "quality is culture," delivering hing that elevates every tadka with unmatched aroma and potency.
In the 1950s, asafoetida was sold loose, with little consumer awareness of its quality or purity. In 1957 Late Sri S. S. Pandian revolutionized the market in Karnataka by introducing high-quality compounded asafoetida in unique Granular form, neatly packed and affordably priced at one anna per packet. Since then, S.S. Pandian has remained a visionary, consistently setting the highest quality benchmarks in the industry.
Today, under second-generation Managing Partner S. Sella Kumaran, the brand continues to source only top-grade imported raw materials and refuses cost-cutting additives such as gum arabic, ensuring purer, stomach-friendly product with every batch.
"Every pinch of hing we make finds its way into someone's home-cooked meal. That is a responsibility we have honoured for seven decades, and it will guide us for the next seven," said S.Sella Kumaran Managing Partner S.S. Pandian & Sons.
As tastes evolve, our promise remains unchanged: deliver the signature SSP burst of divine aroma, nothing less.
