History

Harvest Gold was founded in 1993 by Adil Hassan, a chemical engineer from IIT Delhi, along with his wife, and Director, Taab Siddiqui,[3] MBA alumni of Aligarh Muslim University.[4][5] 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.”[6]

The first plant was set up by Hassan with an initial investment of Rs 1 crore in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan in June 1993 and was named Harvest gold foods India Pvt Ltd.[1]
