Our story begins in 1974, in the lush green fields of Kerala. T.V. Pathrose and Mary Pathrose belonged to a humble farming family, deeply rooted in the land they cultivated. But farming, as they knew too well, was not always fair. After months of nurturing their paddy fields, they faced the harsh disappointment of seeing their harvest undervalued and unsold in the markets.

Instead of surrendering to circumstances, they chose courage. With unwavering determination, they asked themselves a simple question: “Why not take our paddy, mill it ourselves, and bring it directly to the market?” This decision became the first step in what would grow into one of Kerala’s most trusted food brands. From that bold idea, Mother’s Rice Mill was born. With nothing more than grit, hard work, and a vision for something bigger, Pathrose and Mary started milling their own paddy and selling high-quality rice directly to consumers. Slowly, trust was built. Families began to recognize the difference in taste, purity, and care. What started as a local rice mill began to shape into something larger — a brand that stood for honesty, nourishment, and tradition. As the years went by, the foundation laid by the founders grew stronger. Their son, Varkey Peter, carried the torch forward with the same entrepreneurial spirit. He envisioned expanding Mother’s beyond rice, creating a brand that could truly be a part of every Indian kitchen.

Step by step, new product lines were added — wheat flours, rice flours, spices, and curry masalas — each crafted with the same care and uncompromising quality that defined the original rice mill. Under his leadership, Mother’s grew from a small regional name to a trusted food brand with multiple divisions and a presence in diverse markets.Today, the legacy has entered its third generation. With new energy, fresh ideas, and a forward-looking vision, the younger members of the family have joined the business.They bring with them not just respect for tradition, but also the drive to adapt to the modern world embracing technology and global expansion. This generational blend ensures that while Mother’s remains rooted in authenticity, it also stays relevant for today’s and tomorrow’s consumer. Just as the first generation sowed the seed, and the second nurtured it into a tree, the third generation is now ensuring that it grows into a forest of opportunities — carrying the brand across borders, categories, and communities.

Though the business grew, the essence remained unchanged. At the heart of Mother’s is still the philosophy of its founders:

• To value farmers and their produce.
• To respect tradition, while embracing modern technology.
• To ensure that every ingredient is as safe and nourishing as what we’d serve at our own family table.

It’s not just food. It’s a promise — one born in the fields of Kerala and passed down through generations.

Today, Mother’s has expanded into multiple product categories and continues to grow under the stewardship of the family. With state-of-the-art facilities, strong distribution networks, and export-ready operations, the brand has evolved into a modern FMCG player while holding tightly to its roots. From rice that started it all, to the diverse range of flours, spices, and ready-to-cook foods we now offer, every product carries with it a story — a story of resilience, honesty, and care. As we take new steps forward, we see this not just as growth, but as a way to stay closer to the families who trust us. The journey that began in the fields in 1974 is now reaching homes across India and beyond. And at every milestone, one truth remains constant: food made with love, care, and integrity will always find its place on the family table .From Pathrose and Mary’s small rice mill to a brand that spans generations, Mother’s is more than a company. It is a story of family, tradition, and the timeless bond between food and home.

Because when it comes to nourishment, there is no greater name than a Mother’s.
