With the
success of the hotel, Hinnyappuhamy expanded his ventures by starting his own
artisan bakery in Kotahena. The products, known for their superior quality and
taste, increased in demand. Soon, demand exceeded supply. A decision was made
to introduce a mechanized manufacturing process, and in August 1954, the
country’s first mechanized biscuit manufacturing facility began operations.
