After leaving Gujrat (Jasdan) around 1950, Late Shri Maganlal K. Thakral came to Nagpur to earn a living. Through hard work spanning 8 to 10 years, he started a small venture of incense sticks (Agarbatti) under the brand name SANTMANI in 1959, with the slogan “SANTO KE AASHIRWAD SE”
As decades passed, SANTMANI gained popularity all over Maharashtra. With strong support from Late Shri Kishorebhai Popat and Shri Suryakant M Thakral, son of Late Shri Maganlal K. Thakral, the company expanded across central India and ventured into exports as well.
After the grandsons joined the family business in 1996 and 2002, the company introduced new ideas and innovations, such as pouches and attractive packs, to meet market demands and consumer needs.
The company has always upheld the slogan “SANTO KE AASHIRWAD SE”, seeking divine blessings to reach every height of success.
