Who we are
The company
Aplus Foods is the operating arm of Aplus Group, a sixty-five-year-old Indian food house, with its registered office at Naya Bazar, Delhi, and processing facilities in Nawanshahr (Punjab) and Indore (Madhya Pradesh), that has spent its entire life on one job: making the staples of the Indian kitchen reliably, repeatedly, at scale.
Who we are
We are the quiet engine behind some of India’s most-trusted shelves, and the reason a private-label pulse in Riyadh, a millet flour in Toronto, and an everyday daal in Lucknow can taste, cook and weigh exactly as promised.
Leadership
Three generations. Four directors. One uninterrupted relationship with the staples of the Indian kitchen.
In memoriam
1921 – 2001 · Aged 80
Founder · Aplus Group · Est. 1958
Born into a lower-middle-class family of meagre means in pre-Partition Punjab, he lost his father early and learned self-reliance young. After escaping near-death incidents during the Partition of India, he finally came and settled in Nawanshahr, Punjab, where he began his career.
In 1958, with very little beyond conviction, he set up a small shop trading in oil seeds, pulses and cattle feed. Inspired by the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the Guru Granth Sahib, he carried the values of integrity and adaptability into every part of his personal and professional life, and built them into the company he was making.
Six and a half decades on, everything that followed still reads as a continuation of what he started with that single shop in Nawanshahr: two plants, three brands, nine categories, exports to four continents.

Where we work
Aplus Group is registered out of Naya Bazar, Delhi, the historic spice-and-grain market that has anchored the trade for generations. Manufacturing happens across two facilities: our original base in Nawanshahr, Punjab, and a second plant in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, each sited close to the origin of the crops it handles. And an international presence in Dubai keeps us close to buyers across the Middle East and beyond.
