As I {Muthukrishnan.Je Innovator of Seenithulasi Brand & MAKa Foods} went about building my herbal export business, a situation arose in a restaurant when taking a table. One customer was asking for tea without sugar… and after a while when ordering food, another person was asking for tea with less sugar. Such experiences sparked the thought on how to provide people with a sugar substitute that is not harmful to health, which gave rise to
MAKa Foods & A Brand Name Called SEENITHULASI®/INIPPUTHULASI
Day to day life in small eateries or street food stalls, where hundreds of regular customers come daily to refresh them. After a couple of minutes, if we notice some consumer says ‘please put less sugar’ else ‘no sugar’ or ‘black tea’ etc. Did you know that the tea drunk today is made using powdered milk, white sugar …both of which have chemical ingredients? In few teas some spices are added that are grown using fertilizers and pesticides.
When tea with such a lot of chemical content is consumed in our life on a daily basis, then what will happen to our health status? In many situations our younger generation also addict on those teas. If these situations continue means, then surely there we will be a definite negative health impact for our generations.


To activate ourselves we are in need of energy drinks. That energy drinks should be a nutritional one with zero calories. On the search we found an impact on white sugar which is the major ingredient for the causes of all health problems. As a result, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration certified natural sweetener without any side effect is Stevia Rebaudiana.
Stevia is a natural sweetener extracted from the Stevia leaves. We planned to introduce huge Stevia products and to build the best Stevia brand in India. On the way, we registered trademarks namely Seenithulasi® and Inipputhulasi. It represents the Tamil name of Stevia Rebaudiana.
In Tamilnadu, we started our Stevia campaign it gave us a good positive response from the consumers. In this phase, we have received some orders from Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Telangana, Uttrakhand, Gurgoan and some other parts of eastern India through our website (www.seenithulasi.com) for the Stevia products. The Stevia products are Stevia Sweetener, Stevia Liquid drops, Stevia Tea, and Stevia dry leaves. On the next step, we started our R&D works that our next generation leads a healthy sweet life. We switchover to the Herbal based Stevia Tea in India, which includes the regular avail of herbal contents in day-to-day life. In India, we are happy to say that our Herbal based Stevia tea filed for a patent and it is approved by National Biodiversity Authority (NBA). Our product has received many positive comments from the existing clients.
This positive feedback boosts us to move ahead for our brand Seenithulasi and Inipputhulasi to the Indian consumer. On the journey, a new startup from (www.seenithulasi.com to www.steviaproductsindia.com) is launched.
