A SIMPLE PAST. A PERFECT FUTUREEmpowered women, empower the society.
Kanyakumari the southernmost tip of the Indian peninsula is where the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea merge with the Indian ocean. Kanyakumari district is also known for its ancient temples, spices and cottage industries. Pookadai in Tiruvithancode post of Kanyakumari district has found a place in the global scene, courtesy the dynamic attitude and enterprising nature of a young man, who dared to dream not just about his future, but, the future of the society around him. At a time, when most of his friends in the small town of Pookadai were seeking “safe and secure” government jobs, the young man, who responds to the name Regin Paulraj chose to be different. He was enterprising and saw the scope and potential in the cashew nuts processing industry. He was, even at that young age very clear about one thing, that he would strive to be the best in quality, size, productivity and reach in the entire region. Today, Mr. Regin’s cashew nut processing business is the largest in the region with 43 units spread across the town, providing income to over 900 employees. He is ably supported by his wife and partner Ms. T. Ani Chandrakala, who holds the fort, when he is travelling pursuing his expansion plans and extending the market reach.
The Rs. 250 crore enterprise is ready to propel into the higher orbit. There are some ambitious plans in the anvil and Regin intends to penetrate the domestic and international market with its own brand of cashew nuts very soon.
Chairman's Message
It is my belief that what goes around comes around. My father used to always say that you can only be happy, if the society in which you live is happy. Therefore, I was determined to not just take up any government job but to be able to generate employment and livelihood for the people of this region, especially the women, who are in most of the cases the breadwinners for their families. I realised that cashew nut processing ideally suited their needs and my objectives. It gives me immense pride to say that over eighty five percent of the people working with us are women. They are dedicated, hardworking and sincere. RIEPL appreciates and recognises their contribution. We have just begun our journey. We have set our eyes on ambitious goals. We have a strong team in place. Quality has been our keyword. As a part of scaling up, improved infrastructure, facilities and marketing strategies are in place. I am confident that success is just round the corner.
