About Us

ArisiMart is the online store of Sri Ramakrishna Traders, a rice and grocery shop in Nerkundram, Chennai. We sell rice, dals, wood-pressed oils, millets and kitchen staples, and deliver them to homes, hotels and shops across Chennai and its suburbs.

Our story

It started in 1979 with Pandian Traders, a wholesale rice store in Virugambakkam that supplied rice to homes, hotels and shops across Chennai. As more families came to trust us, we opened two more shops, in Nerkundram and West Mambalam.

In 2018 we started ArisiMart.com so that Chennai could order from us without the trip to the shop. The same wholesale buying and the same counter knowledge now come to your phone: which rice grinds into a soft, well-fermented idly batter, which boiled rice cooks separate for daily meals, and which basmati stays long and fluffy in a biryani.

Today you can order a 26 kg bag of your usual rice, a month of dals and a bottle of nallennai in one place, at prices close to wholesale, and have it carried to your door. ArisiMart is run by Sri Ramakrishna Traders, Nerkundram, and managed by Jeyasingh Ranitha.

Businesses can open a B2B account to see wholesale prices on rice bags and staples. We check every business account before approving it; a GST number helps but is not required.
