From paddy to plate
Paddy from the fertile fields of Vidarbha and the north, chosen for grain length and aroma.
At our 5-acre Chandrapur mill — 16 tonnes an hour — every grain passes optical Sortex cleaning.
Rested for twelve months so starch settles and grains bloom long and separate when cooked.
Sealed, delivered through 475 wholesale partners at Yeshwanthpur APMC, and served in kitchens across South India.

The mill
Paddy arrives from Vidarbha and the north and leaves as Sortex-cleaned, naturally aged Kolam, sealed in packs from 1 kg to 50 kg. Fifty-seven people work across four units in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat — and, in the company’s own words, we make sure that we upgrade our unit on timely basis.
