Pt. Salig Ram Shukla was the founder of PahalwanJi's Mattha. He worked as a clerk in a bank. In 1962, he decided to leave his job & started selling buttermilk on a bench, outside Nana Rao Park (then known as Company Bagh).
Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh

In 1983, the legacy passed on to his son, Mr. Devi DayalShukla, who being a professional wrestler, gave the venture its current name.

Our enterprise has now entered its third generation when I took over. Post completing my BFA, I started out as an Asst. Prof. in a college and then migrated to corporate sector. After working for 7 years, I left it all to carry forward our family business.

 

Our vision is to make our stall a brand name synonymous with quality & keep serving our customers passionately for many more years.
