In March 1959, 7 women from South Mumbai embarked on a business venture with hopes of making their family’s financial condition stable. The business was named ‘Lijjat.’ In Gujarati language, the word ‘Lijjat’ translates to ‘delicious.’ Gradually, the business transformed into a co-operative system. Presently, the turnover of Lijjat Papad is Rs 1600 crore and is exported to over 25 countries.
