The origin of Bharath Beedi Works Pvt. Ltd goes back to the year 1930 in the town Karkala. Sri B. Manjunath Pai, who was seventeen years old then, rented out a small shop in front of the Venkataramana Temple. Sri Manjunath Pai rolled beedies with his own hands by night and sold them during the day, in and around Karkala. The only capital he had to speak of was thirty rupees by the way of money and a bicycle.   Due to the supreme confidence and unshaken faith Sri Manjunath Pai had in himself and his capability and the sincere hard work he put in, he has built this company, bit by bit, to make it what it is today. Today Bharath Beedi Works Pvt. Ltd rolls out over 60 million beedies a day.The company employs around 50,000 workers directly and an equal number indirectly. From the residents of Karkala, who were the sole recipients of the Thirty Brand Beedies, the marketing network spans the entire nation - besides Karnataka the neighbouring states of Goa, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, as well as Gujarath, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. The little shop in Karkala in 1930 has now given place to a chain of establishments at Mangalore, Kanhangad, Udupi, Mulki, Moodbidri, Belthangady, Surathkal, B.C. Road, Ullal,   Thalapady, Uppinangadi, Puttur, Kannoor, Sajipa, Kalladka, Bangalore, Kasargoad, Manjeshwar, Kundapur and Harihar, with a Tobacco curing and blending centre at Nipani, all of which roll beedies that are hot favourites of beedi smokers in the Country.
