The Inspiring Journey of Mrs Suseela & Mrs .Sarala – The Sisters Who Built a Legacy in Taste

In the bustling heart of Old Madras, where the aroma of filter coffee mingles with the hum of history, lives an extraordinary tale of grit, resilience, and unshakable sisterhood. Meet Mrs .Suseela and Mrs .Sarala — two remarkable Indian housewives, now in their 60s, who have been handcrafting tradition in the form of sweets for the past decade.

Their brand is not just a business; it’s an emotion — a bridge between the treasured tastes of the past and the fast-paced present. For over 10 years, they have been delivering authentic traditional sweets that carry the same warmth and love they once poured into the food for their own children.

Today, Ms. Suseela and Ms. Sarala still wake up early, tie their aprons, and work side by side. They don’t have a factory, a team of chefs, or outside investors — just two pairs of hands, decades of experience, and hearts full of resilience.

Their philosophy is simple:

• If a sweet doesn’t taste like it came from your own home, it’s not worth selling.
• Age is not an excuse to stop doing what you love.
• Failures are only pauses, not endings.

Even after multiple setbacks in life, they’ve never lost the will to begin again. And in a world where speed often overshadows sincerity, their brand is proof that tradition, patience, and love still win.

What started as small neighborhood orders has now grown into a brand that delivers across India and ships to Australia, Singapore, Europe, and the USA — winning hearts across continents.

And now, anyone craving authentic traditional sweets can order directly from their official website: www.krithiksweets.in.

Looking ahead, the sisters dream of taking the taste of Old Madras even further, so people everywhere can experience what real, handcrafted sweets feel like.

When asked what keeps them going, their answer is always the same:

“Because our story is not finished yet.”

 

Born Into Simplicity, Raised in Resilience

 

The sisters were born into a large Mudaliyar family in Kodambakkam’s Subrayanagar, the eldest two among eight children. Their father, Balakrishnan, an businessman with a mind for business, had once transformed the family from humble beginnings into a household of comfort. 

Mrs .Suseela and Mrs .Sarala’s lives were never without trials. They faced failed attempts at small businesses, endured personal hardships, and often had to put their own dreams on hold for the sake of family responsibilities. But one thing remained constant — their unwavering determination.

In their 50s, when many begin to slow down, the sisters decided to take a leap of faith. Drawing from the recipes passed down through generations, they began making traditional sweets — each piece infused with authenticity, handcrafted just like the sweets they made for their children and loved ones over the years.

 

Building a Brand from the Kitchen

 

With no investors, no external support, and only a small home kitchen as their starting point, the sisters poured their heart into the craft. The first orders came from neighbors and friends, who not only loved the taste but felt the emotion behind every bite.

What started as a small home-based effort soon caught the attention of local residents across Chennai. Today, their company has become a symbol of tradition, celebrated for its Rava Laddu, Athirasam, Milagu Thattai, and other heritage sweets — each one a nostalgic trip back to grandmother’s kitchen.

The Secret Ingredient: Love & Persistence

The sisters maintain a never-give-up spirit. They are actively involved in every stage of production — from selecting the finest ingredients to shaping each sweet by hand.

Their guiding belief?

“A sweet should carry the same love you have for your own family. Only then will it truly touch the heart.”

 

A Story That Inspires Generations

Ms. Suseela and Ms. Sarala’s journey is proof that:

• Age is just a number when you have passion.
• Failures are stepping stones to your true calling.
• Traditions never fade — they only grow richer when shared.

Their passion for authentic flavors didn’t stop with sweets. They also run a successful cloud kitchen on Swiggy called Mom’s Kitchen – Iyyapanthangal, boasting a 4.5+ star rating and delighting customers with signature dishes like Aatukaal Paya, Thattu Idlis, Idiyappam with Thengai Paal, Paniyaram, and more. Customers can explore and order from their Swiggy kitchen directly here: Order from Mom’s Kitchen – Iyyapanthangal.

Their story continues to inspire women, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has faced setbacks in life. They remind us that you don’t need perfect conditions to start — you just need an unwavering will and a heart full of purpose.

 

Looking Ahead

Today, orders for their sweets come from across Tamil Nadu, and their dream is to take the taste of Old Madras to the world.

If you’re ever in search of a dessert that’s more than just sugar and spice, a bite of their handcrafted delicacies will give you a taste of heritage, love, and resilience — all in one mouthful.
