Founded in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, the company has grown significantly since its inception, becoming a household name across India and among the Indian diaspora worldwide.

History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Sri Krishna Sweets trace back to the early 1940s when the founder, N.K. Mahadeva Iyer, began making sweets in his home in Coimbatore. The business officially took off in 1948, initially focusing on catering services before opening its first retail outlet.
