From Pune to the World: The Flavourful Journey of Babus LaxmiNarayan Best Chiwda

The saying “When hunger strikes, happiness hides” captures the essence of Babus LaxmiNarayan Best Chiwda’s remarkable journey. Across generations and continents, our story has spread joy and flavour, enriching countless lives along the way.

Our story begins 77 years ago, in a humble food stall at Rewari railway station in Haryana. Led by the visionary Shri Laxminarayan Ji, this tiny establishment served as a light of sustenance for weary travellers, offering them a taste of home amidst their journeys. Little did anyone know that this modest beginning would evolve into something truly extraordinary.

LaxmiNarayan Chiwda didn’t transform into Babus LaxmiNarayan Best Chiwda overnight. It was a journey packed with dedication, passion, and the vision of excellence. Despite facing difficulties, including a disagreement with an English officer that led to the closure of the stall, Shri Laxminarayan Ji did not give up and continued his journey by drawing inspiration from his travels across the country.

It was during these travels that the idea for our famous Poha Chiwda was born. Influenced by the diverse culinary traditions of India, Shri Laxminarayan Ji combined his knowledge and expertise to create packet snacks that captured the essence of his experiences. Made in Pune but inspired by the flavours of various regions, the Poha Chiwda soon became a beloved treat, cherished by Punekars and beyond.

In 1945, Babus LaxmiNarayan Best Chiwda officially came into being, marking the beginning of a new era. Under the visionary leadership of Shri Laxminarayan Ji’s lineage, the brand flourished, embodying the spirit of innovation, quality, and tradition.

Today, our Managing Director, Prashant Data, continues to uphold the legacy of excellence set forth by his predecessors. With a commitment to growth and evolution, Babus LaxmiNarayan Best Chiwda has embraced modern technology for its packet snacks while staying true to its roots. Our workforce, proudly composed of 60% women workers, reflects our stride towards inclusivity and empowerment.
