V. P. Bedekar & Sons Pvt. Ltd
When Mr. V. P. Bedekar started a small grocery shop at Girgaum, Mumbai in the year 1910, little did he know that it would evolve into the legendary V. P. Bedekar & Sons Pvt. Ltd. His son Mr. V. V. Bedekar ( Annasaheb Bedekar) joined the business in 1914 at the age of 13. To remain competitive and progressive, he started manufacturing spices in 1917 and pickles in 1921. Soon he attracted a growing and loyal clientele for spices, pickle and papads. Since only select and best quality groceries were available at the Bedekar outlet, the customer base expanded.Shortly afterwards, 4 new shops were added - one each at Thakurdwar, Parel, Dadar and Fort.
