“I have had doors slammed in my face, retailers have told me upfront to go away. I’ve even ridden on trucks to ensure my bread reaches everywhere I could take it.”[3]
The first plant was set up by Hassan with an initial investment of Rs 1 crore in Bhiwani, Rajasthan in June 1993 and was named Harvest gold foods India Pvt Ltd.[1]
