Jagdish Farshan Selected for Forbes DGEMS 2025: Blending Gujarati Heritage with Modern Growth

The DGEMS recognition underscores Jagdish Farshan’s dual strengths: a time-tested recipe and flavour wisdom that preserves tradition, combined with investments in modern infrastructure, quality control, and market expansion. The company operates hygienic production units and has progressively adopted packaging and distribution practices that support both domestic retail growth and international exports, including a recent retail presence in the United States market. These moves position the brand to capitalise on rising global demand for authentic regional Indian foods.

Commenting on the DGEMS selection, Aakash Kandoi, Director, Jagdish Farshan Pvt. Ltd., said: “This recognition from Forbes India and D Globalist is a proud affirmation of our journey — from a small house in Vadodara to a brand that reaches kitchens across India and beyond. Our focus has always been to preserve authentic taste while raising the bar on quality, hygiene and modern packaging. Being part of DGEMS 2025 motivates us to accelerate our export plans, scale our retail footprint, and introduce more consumers worldwide to the richness of Gujarati snacks and sweets.” 

Aakash added that the company’s governance and team-led approach — combining fourth-generation family stewardship with professional operations — have enabled Jagdish Farshan to modernise without losing its identity. “We are investing in production excellence, R&D in product shelfability, and partnerships that can take our products to new markets while ensuring the signature taste remains unchanged,” he said.

Joining DGEMS 2025 gives Jagdish Farshan access to a curated network of investors, mentors, and market partners focused on cross-border scaling. For the company, the recognition offers an opportunity to accelerate strategic initiatives: expanding the franchise and retail footprint, strengthening B2B and export pipelines, and developing new product lines tailored for international palates while preserving core recipes.
