Bikanervala is an Indian multinational snack food company and restaurant chain headquartered in Delhi that specializes in Indian sweets and snacks.[4][5] The restaurant chain has 150 locations both in India and globally.[6]
History
[edit]In 1950 two brothers, Kedarnath and Satyanarayan Aggarwal,[7][8] moved to Delhi from Bikaner to plan an expansion of their traditional business. Initially the brothers set up a stall in Chandni Chowk by the name of Bikaner Bhujia Bhandar (lit. 'Bikaneri bhujia store'), on Paranthe wali Gali.
Lawsuit
[edit]In 2012 the company was acquitted after being charged with selling adulterated products. It was alleged that the amount of synthetic dye used in the product exceeded the legal limit.[9]
Operations
[edit]Manufacturing is based in Delhi, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and Faridabad and Rai in Haryana.[10]
