About this listen
In the early 20th century, young Ganga Bhishan Agarwal, aka Haldiram, gained a reputation for making the best bhujia in town. Fast-forward a century and the Haldiram’s empire has a revenue much greater than that of McDonald’s and Domino’s combined. In Bhujia Barons, Pavitra Kumar manages to tell the riveting story of the Agarwal family in its entirety - a feat never managed before. It begins in dusty, benign Bikaner and traces the rise and rise of this homegrown brand which is one of the most recognized Indian brands in the world.
The Haldiram’s story is not an average business story, it’s chock-full of family drama with court cases, jealousy-fueled regional expansion, a decades-old trademark battle and a closely guarded family secret of the famous bhujia. Fast-paced and riveting, this book provides a delicious look into family business dynamics and the Indian way of doing business.

It tells inside an Indian Business Marwari House
Narration is good
The story of multi thousand crore Haldirams brand
It tells you about its origin and what goes inside an Indian Business Marwari House
But somewhere in between the narration the story is lost to things going within the business family and there is comparatively less narration of details of business
However overall worth reading one time

too much confusion with family tree 😂
loved it to understand the condition of marwari joint family
ambitious was taught
struggle was visible
innovation was there
long journey
usual indian family fights
generation gap
multiple things understood
only concern was lots of members to keep track of 😂😂
and I know it is unavoidable
proud of our desi global brand standing strong after so many internal conflicts
