In the times of the British Colonial Raaj in India, our founder, Mr. Kushalchand Z Hirani, at a very young age of 19 years, set out to establish a company in the heart of the East India Company headquarters. In 1922, he started S. Kushalchand & Co with the vision to import and distribute chemicals, plastics, and household goods into the country through Kolkata. The company flourished for a good 40 years. Post the Independence in 1947, lot of trade started shifting to Mumbai which slowly became the financial capital of India. Thats when Kushalchand Hirani’s son, Mr. Anil K Hirani, decided to shift base of operations to Mumbai.
S. Kushalchand was soon dealing in all sorts of aroma chemicals, food ingredients, essential oils with agencies from leading brands in the world. It was only natural for the SK group to forward integrate into manufacture of flavours & fragrances which lead to the formation of S K Flavours & Fragrances and the brand SKFF in 1990.
