Brand story of Myilai
Where every bite is a chapter in tradition!
Our Legacy
Our brand name “Myilai” is weaved from a place steeped in tradition - “Mylapore”. It is formerly known as “Thirumyilai”, a historic town that was also the birthplace of Thiruvalluvar. It's also the cradle of our legacy, reminding us of a cherished tradition of dining on banana leaf that adds a unique flavor and richness and symbolizes purity.
Inspired by this beautiful custom, every bite of Myilai reflects our commitment to preserve the authentic flavours and tradition.
Our Story
A Margazhi morning in the streets of Mylapore with a serene climate, the earthy scent of rain mingling with the fragrance of tradition. As Vidhya walked through the streets, a wave of nostalgia hit her with the memories of her grandmother. In her memory she could see her grandmother's hands crafting delectable sweets and savouries with love, filling their home with the rich aroma of ghee in Mysore Pak and the mouth-melting Adhirasam. Those cherished moments, with tradition and love, had become the start for her identity. Living in bustling city life, she longed to recreate those memories which reminded her the warmth and comfort of her grandmother snack delicacies. With her grandmother’s generations old recipes, she started to recreate those delightful sweets & snacks, with a healthy twist while preserving the taste of tradition in every bite.
