LaxmiNarayan Chiwda Bhawani Peth, Pune, Maharashtra

When asked, “what makes a great brand?”, everyone tends to describe the output of the brand i.e. the experience that a consumer has when it comes to product, price, promotion and place. Everyone talks about the end result, and not what it takes to “make a brand great”.
The Making
In case of Laxminaryan Chiwda, it was sheer penchant of chiwda-making that laid the foundation of the brand in Pune, when Mr. Laxminarayan Data, founder of the massive enterprise, had begun the journey by selling the taste of Maharashtra on the streets with a handcart. When this started in 1935, little did anyone imagined that the humble mixture of flattened rice flakes, peanuts and spices would be identified as the taste of Pune. Being a man of principles, among the first things Mr.Laxminarayan Data did was to get a license for the hawker’s business and subsequently to register the LaxmiNarayan Chiwda trademark. Today, four generations later, great passion for making chiwda, exhibiting a wide range of flavors and providing best quality to customers, thus, Laxminarayan chiwda is now known as ‘the taste of Pune.’
The Carrying Forward
After the death of Laxminarayan Data, Mr. Babulal Data took over the company, catalyzing our growth and building an empire out of it. The same mixture of flattened rice, exotic dry fruits, the generous pinch of asafetida and aromatic spices, is now produced in 5 different varieties. A wide range of exotic dry fruits is also now an integral part of the overall output. We are also slowly expanding our product portfolio to stay relevant to a younger generation. Recently newer varieties such as Badam Chiwda and Lite Chiwda have been introduced.
