During its 135 years of existence, one principle has remained constant with Dabba Chetti Kadai: ‘Quality of the product and customer service.’ Each generation has passed on the message that maintaining ‘quality standards’ and ‘serving the customer’ was fundamental to running the shop.
K. Badrinath, the great grandson of the founder has been managing the shop since the mid 1970s. He has stuck to his father’s message: ‘Offer what the customer wants for he was the one who made us what we are’.
