He returned back after couple of years and started in around 1880 his own "Mambily Royal Biscuit Factory’ based at Thalassery. It served 40+ varieties of rusks, biscuits, buns and breads. Its chief patrons were the British. During those days, bread dough was prepared with the crushing of wheat using crude stone grinders as well as local toddy to ferment the dough.
