Late Shri R. Chinnikrishnan was a true visionary of his time. He pioneered the concept of selling shampoos in a sachet at a time where shampoos were available only in bottles. His idea in no time swept through the rural market paving way to a revolution. His ideas were based on the simple philosophy that "what the rich man can enjoy, the poor man should be able to afford". CavinKare has taken the responsibility of following the golden words of Late Shri R. Chinnikrishnan.
