Thanks for the good information. However, the compiler of the info about Godrej soaps does not seem to know that Mysore Sandal Soap factory was producing soaps earlier (in 1916) than 1930 when Godrej seems to have done it.
This soap has been manufactured since 1916 when Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, the king of Mysore set up the Government Soap Factory in Bangalore.[1]
