Koel Dehydrates was founded by Devasenapathi Ilango, a trained food technologist with a strong foundation in food science, processing, and quality systems.
A graduate of the Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) under DRDO, he has also worked on applied research projects at CSIR-CFTRI, Mysuru.
Through years of hands-on experience in food product development, he observed a recurring industry gap — ingredients were often dehydrated for convenience and scale, at the cost of their natural character and performance.
Koel Dehydrates was created to address this gap by combining scientific understanding with modern processing infrastructure, delivering ingredients that are true to their natural origin.
