Huge order for.... Kovai - Sri Krishna Sweets



For Sri Krishna Sweets, known for its Mysurpa, it was a sweet surprise when Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited placed an order recently for 17,500 kg (two truck loads) of Mysurpa to be delivered in a week. This was the largest order that Sri Krishna Sweets has had from an individual customer. "Even we did not expect. It just happened," says M. Krishnan, its Chairman and Managing Director. The Mysurpa were made and packed in half kg and 1 kg boxes with the BHEL logo in just 72 hours. The orders were for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of BHEL. A production team, with 30 people, and the 60-member packing team worked over 48 hours to complete the job on time. "This went on along with our regular production," he adds. "It is essential that we had adequate infrastructure to cater to such orders and maintain quality." Sri Krishna Sweets has about 50 branches, including one in Dubai, and makes over 250 varieties of sweets.
