Haldiram’s Partnership With Strategic Investors

This development comes just a week after Haldiram’s, India’s largest packaged snacks, sweets company, and restaurant operator, announced partnerships with three strategic investors—Temasek, the Singapore-based global investment firm; Alpha Wave Global; and International Holding Company (IHC).

Although the deal’s specifics remain undisclosed, industry insiders estimate its valuation at around USD 10 billion (approximately Rs 85,000 crore), marking it as the largest in the Indian packaged food sector, as per a PTI report.

The partnership is expected to bolster Haldiram’s efforts to expand its footprint internationally, particularly in the US and the Middle East, regions with significant Indian diaspora populations.

"We are taking meaningful steps toward something bigger. From Indian kitchens to global shelves, we are expanding our reach while staying true to everything that makes Haldiram's special," Chutani said in his post.
