Shapthagiri Refineries has refined and packed coconut oil in Palakkad, Kerala, for nearly four decades — the home of Pooram and Dhwani.

It began in 1987.

Our core company, Shapthagiri Refineries, was founded in 1987 by Mr. G. V. Rangarajan, who brings more than 50 years of experience in the edible oil industry.

From our refinery and packing unit on the outskirts of Palakkad, we refine, test and pack coconut oil under our own names — Pooram roasted coconut oil and Dhwani pure coconut oil.

Ever since, there has been substantial growth, under one seal: Health & Purity, since 1987.

The story
Elephants in golden caparisons lined up at a temple festival in Kerala

‘Pooram’ means a congregation.

It is also the gathering of deities riding sacred temple elephants for a festival in Kerala — a tradition of more than two centuries, and a spectacular symbol of heritage, celebration, joy and grandeur.

We promise Pooram coconut oil will be as close to your heart, and as much a part of culture and tradition. Made out of the finest copra and roasted for a better aroma and taste, it also keeps longer than normal coconut oil.
