The Life and Legacy of T. Kaliyaperumal Chettiar
From bullock presses to a golden legacy—a journey of honesty, grit, and unwavering purity.
A Visionary's Evolution
Mr. Kaliyaperumal Chettiar stands as an industry veteran whose life's work seamlessly bridges the gap between heritage and modern innovation. Starting his journey with the traditional Maatu Chekku (bullock-driven oil press), he witnessed and drove the evolution toward modern extraction systems. Yet, amidst technological advancements, his core commitment remained unchanged: preserving the traditional quality, aroma, and purity of the oil that his ancestors perfected.
🌾 The Early Years (1962)
Rooted in a long lineage of oil merchants from Andipalayam, a village near Cuddalore, They traditionally produced sesame oil using bullock-drawn presses and sold it to surrounding villages. He completed his S.S.L.C. in 1961. However, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, he ventured out on his own at the tender age of 18. His early days were defined by hard labor—purchasing oil seeds directly from local markets, meticulously overseeing the pressing process, and personally delivering the fresh oil to nearby shops. This hands-on experience laid the bedrock of his profound knowledge of oil quality.
Guiding Philosophy
"Honesty, integrity, and hard work with faith will surely bring success."
🛣️ Journey to Puducherry (1975)
🏷️ Building the 'Thangam' Brand
Recognizing market shifts and health trends, he strategically transitioned the focus from groundnut oil to premium sesame oil. In a poignant tribute to his father, Mr. Thangaraj Chettiar, he christened the brand 'Thangam', meaning 'Gold' in Tamil—a name that perfectly encapsulated the purity and premium quality of their offering.
📈 Market Evolution
Government Regulations: At one point, the Central Government mandated that Vanaspati (vegetable ghee) must contain 5% sesame oil. This created a massive surge in demand. His mill supplied large quantities to major companies like Hindustan Lever, Tungabhadra Oil Mill, and Wipro Products.
Modern Branding: When the government later relaxed the Vanaspati rules, the bulk market slowed down. Chettiar adapted by shifting to consumer pouch packing and retail sales. He credits the Puducherry government for providing subsidies (50% for packing and film machines) and tax exemptions that helped him transition.
Our Pure Heritage
Crafted through generations of traditional cold-pressed extraction, every drop of THANGAM oil preserves the authentic aroma, rich nutrients, and unmistakable taste of nature's finest seeds.
