About the owner: Jyothy Labs
Jyothy Labs is a publicly listed company headquartered in Mumbai, India, founded in 1983. Brandtree records 10 brands under its control, and it is listed as BSE: 532926 and NSE: JYOTHYLAB.
Jyothy Labs is an Indian household and personal care company listed on BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India, with its registered office at Ujala House in Andheri East, Mumbai. Its annual report says M. P. Ramachandran founded it in 1983 in Thrissur, Kerala as a single-product business, and that its power brands are Ujala, Maxo, Exo, Henko and Margo. The same report says Henkel decided not to renew the licence agreements for Pril and Fa beyond 31 May 2026, so those two brands, which Jyothy made under licence, are no longer listed here.
