History
Harvest Gold was founded in 1993 by Adil Hassan, a chemical engineer from IIT Delhi, along with his wife, and Director, Taab Siddiqui, MBA alumni of Aligarh University. The main founder of the company stated the following quote regarding the hardships faced during the company's early days:
“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]
