About R. Expo/Song of India

Song of India was founded in 1932 by my grandfather Mr. Jagdamba Prashad Mathur; originally known as Mathur Perfumery Works. Our storefront in Delhi produced and retailed natural perfume oils, body oils, herbal oils and incense. The family techniques and craftsmanship were continually developed and eventually passed onto his son, Mr. Durga Prashad Mathur who continued to grow the business with his wife looking after our store. In the 1960s, the demand for natural products and oils was recognized on the global market. People from around the world began visiting my father’s shop and appreciating our products. During this time, we began creating international relationships and strategizing about further growth. R. Expo was founded as a result in 1972. Soon after, we began receiving small international orders and our business started expanding globally. In I989, we opened the next chapter in Seattle, WA to launch our US focus, while continuing manufacturing and exporting from India. Since then, we have been blessed to have grown into global leaders in natural products and handicrafts. To this day, we continue to manufacture the same high-quality oils and incense that were created by my grandfather and continue to export handicrafts from the same family shop in Delhi.
