We planned to start a food business and we didn't have any idea about it. I don't know who to contact for the documents and where to register etc, then we came to know about Kanakkupillai. We checked the Google reviews and feedback and decided to contact Kanakkupillai. I gave a call and first day we had a meeting with Ragavan, he was such a wonderful person and who helped in many things. He explained the procedure very clearly and in details. Finally we had an idea how this thing works. Later we just provided the documents which they asked for to register for Food License, GST, MSME, Partnership deed, Trademark and PAN. The work was so fast and on time. If we forget also, the team will followup on it and complete the work. That was really a very professional and great customer service. I would really thank Meera, Sathish, Sangeetha, Kalaivani, Sandhiya and Kalaimathi worked for us. Kanakkupillai, you are doing great. Keep it up. Thank you so much for your support..
