Papadmalji Agro Foods

About the Company

Papadmalji Agro Foods engages in the manufacturing of handmade papads, machine-made papads, rice papads, vrat special papads, and moongodi, along with the trading of cereal pellets. The company also carries out white-label manufacturing of handmade papads, producing goods that clients market under their respective brand names and tailored packaging. Revenue is primarily generated through product sales under its key core brands, including Vishal, Zhakaas, and Rozana, alongside direct-to-consumer sales under the Papadmalji brand. Products are distributed across multiple sales channels, such as general trade, modern trade, quick commerce, direct-to-consumer platforms, and sales to merchant exporters for selected Middle Eastern markets. Operations are based out of manufacturing units and facilities situated in Bikaner, Rajasthan. For handmade papad production, the business utilizes a decentralized operational system involving contractors and home-based women workers who perform hand rolling according to prescribed quality specifications before final inspection.
