1942

Late Shri Shantilal Amrutlal Thakkar started an edible oil business by the name "Shantilal Chunilal". At that time oil was sold in barrels without any brand.

1982

Converted to partnership firm “Shantilal Chunnilal Manufacturing Division” & launched first-of-its-kind edible oil brand "SWAD Filtered Groundnut Oil" in Nagpur region.

“Shantilal Chunnilal Manufacturing Division” converted to "Shantilal Oils Private Limited and took over the brand “Swad”.
