Our Story: A Legacy Built On Trust

One of the most trusted and fastest-growing conglomerates in India, Ghodawat Consumer Limited (GCL), is synonymous with daily consumable essentials at affordable prices. With a wide range of products such as Star Atta, Edible Oil, Pulses, Rice, Salt, Snacks, Assorted Namkeens, Water and ‘To Be Honest’ – Real Fruit and Vegetable Crunchies and more. On top of that, Fizzinga, Frustar, Coolberg and Rider are our top-selling products in the beverage category.

2003 Oil

The journey begins with our maiden product. The first thing on the pan and in your mind while cooking, Oil is a must-have in every household, putting the seal on flavour and taste for every meal. The range was introduced in 2003 and was an instant hit and a household favourite, especially the Refined Soyabean Oil: our highest-selling product.

2013 Rice

The next step was making simple and everyday meals extra special, and to do this, we brought a hot bowl of steamy rice to the table. Introduced in 2013, our Rice range gave a delicious edge to daily meals. Whether it was just plain Wada Kolam or the yummy Jeera Rice, lunch and dinner spread became 10x more fulfilling.

2013 Salt

Introduced in 2013, Star Salt has become a staple in Indian households, revered for its iodized, vacuum-evaporated formulation. This free-flowing salt not only enhances flavor but also promotes health with its blend of iodine and crystal salt, providing a naturally delightful taste. Recognized for its purity and premium quality, Star Salt is trusted by consumers across the nation.

2014 Impulse

Lastly, tapping into the Impulse category, we introduced a range of beverages and snacks to urban and rural regions of India, with an idea to make this category more accessible. From fruit and carbonated drinks to crispy chips, a roster of chilled and masaledaar products were introduced, completing the family of daily essentials at Ghodawat Consumer Limited.

2018 Atta

How can we leave out everyday food without the mention of roti?
These fluffy and warm delights, straight from the tawa, are a constant favourite of everyone. And ours was made from the finest in India. Set up and introduced in 2018, the Chakki Fresh Atta and Premium Atta keep rotis soft for longer with a hint of fresh, homely love.

2022 Coolberg

Joining the roster next was Coolberg, India’s leading non-alcoholic beer brand, which was acquired in 2022 by the company to penetrate the market better and stand out in the beverage category. A refreshing new chapter for Ghodawat Consumer Limited’s Impulse Division.

2023 TBH

In 2023, the hunger for healthy snacks grew and the company acquired a healthy range of baked snacks brand, To Be Honest, to strengthen their premium packaged goods profile. To Be Honest offers a range of vegetable and fruit snacks, including okra, ripe jackfruit, beetroot, mixed sweet potato, chickpeas and tomato chips.

As the list went on and the company grew, the range of products at Ghodawat Consumer Limited (GCL) expanded. With Mr. Sanjay Ghodawat at the centre and under the able aegis of Mr. Rajesh, Mr. Shrenik and Mrs. Salloni Ghodawat, GCL has achieved every growth milestone while creating a landmark presence for their company.
