FTCI’s Bylakuppe Branch

The Federation of Tibetan Cooperatives in India Ltd. has established its unit “FTCI Trading Co.” at Bylakuppe in 2011 to conduct different businesses. The section is currently focused on the manufacturing of incense and the operation of hotel. The unit has four administrative staff members.

Since its inception, the unit has not only given importance to the bottom line of the company but has also encouraged employment opportunities to the general public. The unit undertakes the activity without hampering local cooperative societies.

INCENSE FACTORY

This section has initiated the activity of manufacturing Tibetan handmade incense (herbal) as one of their income generating projects. Though it began with only two types of incense, over time, the unit added a few more, and it now handles five different types of aromatic incense such as Yangtse, Himalayan Aroma, Ratna 10”, Ratna 6”, Peace and Mensang (powder). The section is manufacturing incense for a few monasteries in Bylakuppe and Hunsur as well. We deal with the wholesale of the product produced and facilitate delivery of the product. Our customer ranges from all over India and overseas. To successfully accomplish the activity, the unit has 21 employees working in the factory.
