Thanjai Snacks was a progressive idea of its founders Kumaresan Muthukrishnan of the Thanjai group of restaurants and Dr Thiagas Sankar, well-known Distinguished Professor and former Head of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering faculty. Both have worked hard to bring scientifically formulated high-quality South Indian snacks using new combination of fresh ingredients to meet the demands of public across Canada and USA. We currently focus on selected series of regular and nutritious healthy snacks using our R&D work on snack formulations to capture this fast-expanding demand for tasty vegetarian snacks. During the past few years, the snacks and sweets sales in North America have risen multifold due to popularity of multicultural cuisines

Currently ethnic and multinational shops and grocery stores often sell only imported products in poorly packed bags with limited shelf-life. These do not deliver an authentic taste and many of these snack products are improperly stored, having already suffered damages from shipment. These snacks can also be unhealthy due to the addition of preservatives needed to keep them appearing fresh.
