A SIMPLE PAST. A PERFECT FUTURE

Empowered women, empower the society.

Kanyakumari — the southernmost tip of the Indian peninsula where the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea meet the Indian Ocean — is famed for its temples, spices and cottage industries. From the small town of Pookadai in Tiruvithancode comes Regin Imports and Exports Private Limited, born from the vision of Regin Pauldas. While many of his peers sought government jobs, Regin chose entrepreneurship and recognized the potential of cashew processing.

Today his cashew-processing enterprise is the region’s largest: 43 units across the town, providing income to over 900 employees. Supported by his wife and partner, Ms. T. Ani Chandrakala, Regin has built a business focused on quality, size consistency, productivity and market reach. With a turnover of ₹330 crore, the company is now poised for the next stage of growth — launching its own domestic and international cashew brand and expanding market reach with ambitious growth plans.
