At 86 years old, Lala Kedarnath Aggarwal, also lovingly called Kakaji, has said goodbye to a culinary master in the center of old Delhi, where the busy streets whisper tales of history and flavors. India's culinary scene has been forever changed by his incredible journey, which began with him selling rasgullas and bhujia in buckets on the streets and ended with the establishment of the well-known snack and confectionery business Bikanervala.
Indian sweet, snack, and restaurant chain group Bikanervala, with revenues of over Rs 3,000 crore, is working towards an initial public offering (IPO) for its food company in the next three years.
Before that, it could also bring in private equity (PE) investors.
The low-profile Aggarwal family-owned group company, Bikanervala Foods (which also sells under the brand name Bikano), operates in the snack business.
