About Us

Thiruvanthapuram, or Trivandram, Kerala houses the world’s richest temple of Lord Sri Padmanabha and the company with one of the world’s richest heritages of incense and fragrances – GDS Perfumery Pvt. Ltd. – a perfect match isn’t it.

It all began with Shri. K G Shenoi, who was the venerable force behind the business that started its operations way back in the late 70’s. As every company that starts up, there were insurmountable challenges to overcome in the early years. But beating all odds, the iron-willed patriarch strained every sinew to make his dreams come true.

The fruits of efforts are always sweet. So proverbially, today after thirty seven (37) years of unrelenting work, the dream that once was, is reality now, with GDS being the largest, most preferred and loved Agarbathi Company in Kerala with a bouquet of over seventeen (17) chart-topping brands.

Being a family-run business has its advantages because everyone who work in the company is part of the extended family that’s spans from the junior most to the most senior. This ensures good values like honesty, eye for quality, hard work that permeates throughout the company and in turn the employees are encouraged and suitably rewarded.
