It was in 1865, that Bhawarlal Ji Sarda migrated from Rajasthan to Gadchiroli, a small village in Maharashtra, India. The village was blessed with nature in every sense, including fertile soil, rivers, and lush greenery. Recognizing the exceptional quality of the soil of the place, he revolutionized agricultural practices followed at that time, by introducing multiple crops, resulting in abundant and high-quality rice harvests.
He noticed the struggles of local farmers and wanted to improve their quality of life. The Keshar Kali family established their first mill, Annapurna Rice Mill, in 1999 and began sourcing rice from tribal farmers in high quantities, which was mutually beneficial. It was a small mill, and at that time, it was unknown that this move would sow the seeds for a legacy that would change the lives of farmers and food lovers alike.
This marked a milestone in Keshar Kali’s journey. Innovations were introduced according to the time, and the business expanded. One mill has now grown to three. Bhagwati Rice Mill and Agro Industries are equipped with modern amenities and quality controls. Riddhe Siddhe Rice Mill Pvt. Ltd. is the latest fully automated mill, ensuring top-quality rice.
The current generation of the Keshar Kali family registered the brand name in 2009. They took inspiration from the majestic ‘Keshar’ flower, which reflects the brand’s values of purity, elegance, and resilience. Keshar Kali has continued to flourish and follows sustainable practices, nurturing the land, farmers, and community to ensure that every grain meets the highest standards!
