About Us
Circars Lakshmi Mill Stores, a small and medium enterprise with its headquarters in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, was established by Sri Chitturi Rama Krishnayya in 1918. Remarkably, the business continues to operate from its original building, which was constructed during a time when steel manufacturing companies were non-existent in India. To source the steel for its construction, the company imported from Dorman Long and Co Ltd. Of Middlesbrough, England. Today, Circars Lakshmi Mill Stores is managed by the third and fourth generations of the Chitturi family and has a strong presence across Andhra Pradesh.
With over a century of experience in the industry, our organization has developed a unique ability to identify opportunities where others see limitations. Fueled by our pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit, we have successfully ventured into several sectors of public importance including industrial supplies, building material supplies, machine manufacturing, construction, and hospitality.
Our innovative approach to business has also led to the establishment of several other entities including Circars Lakshmi Industries, Best Mart Company, Royal Wealth Company, and Landmark Properties. These entities embody the same pioneering spirit and commitment to innovation that has been the hallmark of our organization for over 107 years.
At Circars, our overarching goal is to enhance the quality of life for the communities we serve. We remain steadfast in our pursuit of leadership in the various business sectors we operate in. As a value-driven organization, our core values guide the operations and growth of all our affiliated companies.
With a workforce of 90 individuals drawn from all segments of society, we are committed to sourcing our supplies from local enterprises across the country. This practice not only creates employment opportunities but also fosters mutual growth, empowering local communities and promoting sustainable livelihoods.
Andhra Pradesh is a state filled with boundless dreams, aspirations, and opportunities. At Circars, we recognize the need to translate these dreams into reality, particularly for the vulnerable sections of society. To this end, we have embarked on a journey of inclusive development, which aims to address the basic needs of these communities through the Sri Chitturi Visweswara Rao Trust.
Since its establishment in 1981, the Trust has played an instrumental role in improving the lives of countless individuals in various urban and rural locations. Through our commitment to inclusive development, we are proud to have made a meaningful difference in the lives of hundreds of people, and we remain resolute in our mission to continue this positive impact in the years to come.
Circars Lakshmi Mill Stores marks every February 29th as Founders day to honor our late founder’s legacy and vision.
