In every kitchen across Tamil Nadu and beyond, groundnut oil has always held a special place. More than just a cooking medium, it has become a trusted part of daily life, energising the body, protecting the heart and nerves, and strengthening immunity with its natural Vitamin E, calcium, and iron. With healthy fats at its core, groundnut oil is more than food; it is a way of life.

Carrying forward this legacy with pride is MANI AND CO., the makers of Sikaram Groundnut Oil. For over seven generations, the brand has stood as a symbol of quality, purity, and health, remaining true to its roots while meeting modern-day expectations.

A Legacy Spanning Seven Generations

The journey of Sikaram is deeply tied to a family legacy built on trust and tradition. It all began before Independence, when Mr Subbaiah laid the foundation. He was succeeded by Mr Kallavendan, followed by Mr Ramaiah, then another generation led once again by Mr Subbaiah. The tradition was carried forward by Mr Kallavendan and later by Mr Balasubramanian, who formally established MANI AND CO in 1984 and introduced the Sikaram brand. Today, the baton rests with Mr K B Karthick, the seventh-generation torchbearer, who continues to uphold the family’s vision while taking the brand to newer heights.

“Even before Independence, our family had stepped into this field. What my ancestors began as a small venture, my father, Mr. Balasubramanian, transformed into MANI AND CO. and built the Sikaram brand. Today, we continue to move forward on that strong foundation. The trust of our customers across generations is our greatest strength,” says K B Karthick.

Purity in Every Drop

The making of Sikaram oil reflects both tradition and modern innovation. The journey begins with carefully handpicked groundnuts sourced directly from farmers and wholesalers. After cleaning and de-husking, the oil is extracted using the Cold Press method at low temperatures, ensuring that nutrients remain intact. This method preserves essential vitamins and minerals, making every drop of Sikaram a natural choice for those seeking health and wellness in their daily lives.

Commitment to Sustainability and Farmers

For MANI AND CO., sustainability is not just a practice, it is a responsibility. The groundnut cake, a by-product of oil extraction, is repurposed as cattle feed and natural fertilizer, ensuring zero waste and supporting agriculture. By working directly with farmers, the brand not only ensures quality raw materials but also contributes to improving farmers’ livelihoods. “Our growth is tied to their prosperity, and that is something we deeply value,” adds Mr.K B Karthick.

A Symbol of Trust and Well-being

Over the years, Sikaram has become more than an edible oil brand, it is a heritage. Generations of families have believed in its promise:
“Wherever there is Sikaram, health and happiness are assured.”

With its unique blend of tradition, purity, and health benefits, Sikaram Groundnut Oil continues to inspire trust while shaping healthier lifestyles. As Mr.K B Karthick reflects, “Sikaram is not just a product, it is our culture, our commitment, and a way of life.”
