Sri Neelkantappa
Laid the foundation for the saga that is Amruth Kesari Depot. He established the store in Dhoddapete in a small building, offering sacred materials essential for Indian worship and spiritual practices.
Sri Parmeshaiah
Continuing his father’s legacy, he strengthened the Grandhige Angadi concept and firmly established Amruth Kesari Depot’s reputation as a trusted name for pooja and traditional materials in Bengaluru.
Sri P. S. Ravishankar
Taking the reins in 1986, Sri Ravishankar transformed Amruth Kesari Depot from a traditional store into a thriving wholesale enterprise. His extensive knowledge of herbs, pooja materials, dry fruits, and spices helped expand the business beyond Bengaluru and Karnataka.
His charm and people-handling skills allowed the retail segment to grow. He also built strong relationships with Ayurveda manufacturers and practitioners, enabling the company to cater to both retail (B2C) and wholesale (B2B) markets under one roof.
Under his leadership, the store moved from Avenue Road to its current home in Mamulpete.
Mr. Ravishankar successfully ran the business for more than 30 years till 2019, when he passed on the reins of Amruth Kesari to his son, Mr. Chiranth.
Sri Chiranth R. S
Joined the business in 2010 and learned the nuances of the trade under the able tutelage of his father, Mr. Ravishankar. He took over ownership in 2019, sharpening the company’s focus on the herbal segment, expanding the inventory and quality of herbs while maintaining the heritage of the Grandhige Angadi image.
His vision is to make Amruth Kesari Depot a world-class supplier of herbs—serving Ayurveda, Unani, and wellness industries across the world.
For him, this work is not just commerce, but a service to mankind in general and Ayurveda/Unani in particular.
