About the proprieter: S. V. Hanagodimath
Originally from Hanagawadi (from which comes the name Hanagodimath), he settled in Byadgi for almost his entire life. He was fondly called svAmEru (from svAmiyavaru) refering to his Veerashaiva lineage. He has now retired and lives in Bengalooru, with his daughter's family. The press was started in 1957 (at a different place) and ran continuously till 2004. At one time, this press was the only place in Byadgi for any printing/ book making related activity. It is now owned by one of the apprentices Maradi Basaveshvara. The press now goes under the name "Maradi Basaveshvara Printing Press".
