| Our History |
| INCEPTION |
| The year 1937 saw the inception of Glenand, a large supermarket in the pre independence days with a exclusive portion completely devoted to pets. |
| FIRST OF ITS KIND – PET STORES |
| The business was soon bought over by his son MR. E.V.Jayakaran who continued the tradition of making the original dog biscuits and this was soon made available all over India. Glenand Dog biscuits were hand made, oven baked in a traditional manner, with no added preservatives or colors and became a household name in every pet loving family. They are used as a treat as well as a meal by itself, sometimes. Mr. E.V. Jayakaran soon understood the rising need for people to want more and more quality products for their pets, and being a businessman that he was, took advantage of the situation and started an exclusive Pet Store which was the first of its kind in India in the year 1982. It was called Glenands Pet Store and situated in the posh area of Church Street in Bangalore and it was a milestone in the Indian pet industry. Many products which were meant exclusively for pets were imported and sold here. |
| BUSINESS GROWTH |
| The Glenands Pet Store saw a growing business and in 1997, Mr. E.V. Jayakaran’s entrepreunial son, Prithvi Jayakaran joined in the business and ensured a steady growth in the sales of Glenands Dog Biscuits. With his business and management studies background, he was able to expand the business to phenomenal heights. His keen interest to offer more varieties in the dog biscuits range, persuaded him to introduce different variants and flavours like whole chicken, meat and liver and complete vegetarian too, besides puppy Biscuits with DHA. After much R & D work, supplements of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids were added and revolutioned the dog biscuit industry. Glenands biscuits was and still is, the No.1 choice for dog biscuits. |

After analizing the suitability of the products, he then goes that extra mile to import and introduce them in the Indian Pet market. |
