In 1942, our mentor Mr. Gyanoba Jadhav, shifted from Kolhapur to Pune, where the visitors to his house highly appreciated the taste of the food cooked by his wife. They were so enthralled by the taste of the food that they started asking for samples of the masala. Later on in 1949, this enterprising couple began selling kanda lasoon masala, hence laying the foundation of PKM Foods Pvt. Ltd. in a single room house.

The entire process, starting from cleaning the ingredients to processing the masalas was done in the traditional way. Then in 1952, the couple set up a shop in Mandai, where they sold a variety of masalas, which fulfilled the requirements of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. The traditional way of processing continued till the 1980s. Later on, their son introduced sophisticated technology, which is enabling the organization to meet the bulk orders of the clients, within the committed time.

Our company has been able to reach towards the pinnacle of success due to the efforts of our experienced and knowledgeable mentors. Our mentors have always endeavored to provide clients with quality products, hence ensuring complete client satisfaction.
