The first thing that comes to your mind when you think about Sivakasi is
"CRACKERS, MATCH STICKS, PRINTING PRESS, KUTTY JAPAN".
Since childhood, Printing Press has been the cornerstone of my development, shaping my growth and fostering my learning journey. My ancestors started a Cover Company in the name "APPAT Trading Company". Years later, we got into printing.
Then, a Litho Press in the name of
"SUNDARASEKAR PRESS” was founded, which took us deeper into printing. Following a gradual process of development, my father, Mr. A.K. Vadivel Rajan, established "Commercial Offset Printers."
I started learning about printing from my father at the age of 12.
Earlier, calendars and wedding invitations were printed. After seeing growth, Offset Printing Machine was purchased in 1988. I worked day and night to study about the specifications and working of the machine.
I'm immensely grateful to Mr. Panjavarnampillai of Madurai, the proprietor of Arasubama Appalam & Chips, for his support in my entrepreneurial journey at the age of 18. Like Panjavamampillai, all PAPAD Companies in Chinthamani supported our business. After twelve years of being in business with the people of Chinthamani, my swift actions earned me the moniker "Flying Squad," a testament to their appreciation for my proactive approach.
Following in the footsteps of the late MANIPRAKASH, a partner at Madurai Mano Book Centre, I ventured into the world of publishing, founding "X+ Commercial Publications" in his honor.
We've expanded our business footprint significantly, establishing a presence with multiple retailers across India, as well as in Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
