Ghodawat Consumer offers premium quality daily essential products

Founded in 2013, Ghodawat Consumer (GCL), the fast-moving consumer goods arm of Sanjay Ghodawat Group (SGG), has focused on constant product innovation, customer-centricity, affordability, and quality, creating a unique brand identity for itself.

GCL started its journey by manufacturing edible oils. Soon the increasing consumer acceptance, trust, and notable success, the company was encouraged to expand and diversify its product portfolio to include staples, impulse, and Home and Personal care categories.

GCL's 'Star' brand atta, edible oil, jaggery, pulses, rice, salt, sugar, snacks, assorted namkeen's and water are now household names in Maharashtra and Karnataka, and so are the "Ayurstar" range of personal care products and the "Klemax" range of homecare products. "Fizzinga" - carbonated drinks, "Frustar" – fruit drinks and "RIDER" – Energy Drink are among the top-selling products in the beverages category. The dairy division includes "Star" Ghee, "Hapy" Milkshakes and "Star" Flavored Milk.

Continuous R&D for innovations

GCL has created a distinct identity and has set a benchmark of excellence in products and services with the trust of millions of consumers.

According to Shrenik Ghodawat, managing director, Ghodawat Consumer (GCL), the premise behind the business model is that the consumer utilizes at least one product from GCL for the entire day. That is why GCL has invested in state-of-the-art infrastructure, high-quality packaging & raw materials, and a skilled team to deliver the best possible. With standards that measure those of top MNC companies, GCL aims for consumers to switch to healthier and higher-quality items by pricing the products cost-effectively. Currently, the research and development center has developed several innovations such as:

Green packaging material initiatives

• Snacks - producing Multigrain chips that are 40%less fat compared to regular potato chips and focus on baked snacks
