Founder – M. Raghuveer Shenoy (1951-2025)
After completing his education, Mr. Shenoy sought opportunities to establish a meaningful business that could support the farming community. Recognizing the immense potential of apiculture at a time when beekeeping was still in its infancy, he ventured into the manufacture of wooden bee boxes in a modest shed near his residence. His focus on producing quality ISI-type bee boxes enabled farmers to generate additional income through scientific beekeeping practices integrated with agriculture and horticulture.
In 1974, he established M/s. Shenoy Enterprises at Kallare, Puttur, in Dakshina Kannada district. As the demand for beekeeping products increased, he expanded operations and, in 1980, diversified into the manufacture of a comprehensive range of beekeeping equipment. To further encourage apiculture among farmers, he also began supplying honey bee colonies of the species Apis cerana indica, which were widely preferred by beekeepers across the region.
With growing recognition and increasing demand from different parts of Karnataka and neighboring states, Mr. Shenoy founded Radhika Sales in 2004, named after his wife, Mrs. Radhika Shenoy. This strategic expansion enabled the company to cater to a wider customer base and strengthen its presence in the apiculture sector. He invested in land, modern manufacturing infrastructure, and advanced machinery to enhance production capacity, maintain uniform quality standards, and meet the evolving needs of the industry.
Under his leadership, Radhika Sales emerged as one of the most trusted names in India’s beekeeping ecosystem. The organization established close associations with various government departments, including Horticulture, Agriculture, and Forest Departments, providing expert consultation and supplying high-quality bee boxes, beekeeping equipment, and honey bee colonies. Numerous beekeeping societies, farmer-producer groups, cooperatives, educational institutions, and nurseries benefited from his expertise and guidance.
Beyond his business achievements, Mr. Raghuveer Shenoy was widely respected for his commitment to empowering rural communities, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and encouraging scientific beekeeping practices among farmers. His efforts contributed significantly to enhancing pollination, improving agricultural productivity, and creating supplementary income opportunities for thousands of farming families.
On 22 September 2025, M. Raghuveer Shenoy passed away, leaving behind a rich legacy of entrepreneurship, innovation, and service to society. While his passing marked the end of an extraordinary chapter, his vision, values, and contributions continue to inspire the organization and the wider apiculture community.
Today, Honey Equip and Radhika Sales proudly carry forward the foundation he built, remaining committed to quality, innovation, customer service, and the advancement of sustainable beekeeping practices. His legacy continues to guide the organization as it serves beekeepers, farmers, and institutions across India.
Following the strong foundation laid by Late Mr. M. Raghuveer Shenoy, the legacy of the organization continues under the stewardship of his two sons, Mr. Vikas Shenoy and Mr. Rakesh Shenoy, both engineering graduates who have inherited their father's entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to quality, and passion for advancing the beekeeping industry.
Having actively worked alongside their father for several years, they have played an important role in modernizing operations, enhancing production capabilities, and expanding the company's reach across multiple states. By integrating contemporary manufacturing practices, customer-focused services, and innovative solutions, they are successfully carrying forward the vision established by their father.
Under their leadership, Honey Equip and Radhika Sales continue to strengthen their position as trusted partners for beekeepers, farmers, government agencies, cooperatives, and apiculture institutions. The organization remains focused on promoting sustainable beekeeping practices, supporting rural livelihoods, and delivering high-quality bee boxes, beekeeping equipment, and honey bee colonies.
