Seyadu Beedi Company

About Us

If at all innovation and entrepreneurship can be illustrated in a cottage industry, Seyadu Beedi Company would be the perfect example. ...
Seyadu Beedi, now acclaimed as the largest cottage industry in India, has enriched the essentially Indian tradition of beedis in inimitable style over the last 60 years. The company established by the visionary, Mr.T.E. Seyadu Rowther was more of a family business during its time of inception. The company had its birth in SriLanka, known as Ceylon in yester-years, and expanded its operations to the Indian sub-continent. The Indian operations had a modest beginning in Sindupoondurai, Tirunelveli. Capitalizing on the availability of skilled resources and quality raw materials, Seyadu beedi introduced the Indian cigarette smoker to a distinct and different taste and flavor in beedis for the first time in 1940. Ever since, there has been no looking back.
Being certified that the products rolling out of Seyadu beedi Company are "free from child labor", the company contributes to the society in a major way by providing employment to no less than 40,000 rural common folk in and around Tirunelveli. A majority of the company's workforce also includes women. Constant interactions with the workforce, emphasis on quality maintenance and computerization of administration facilities have helped the company grow by leaps and bounds. The same are perceived to be the predominant reasons of Seyadu beedi Company commanding a leading presence in the domestic market with an annual turnover of Rs1000 million and a staggering production capacity of 21.8 million beedis per day.
Backed by a dedicated marketing and distribution system spanning the length and breadth of the country and distinguished representatives placed all over the world, the company is all set to take over the Global Beedi Market in a big way.
