Haldiram's was founded by Ganga Bishan Agarwal, commonly known as Haldiram, in 1937. Haldiram began his journey in Bikaner (Rajasthan) where he started a small shop selling traditional Indian sweets and snacks, and the famous "bhujia". fast-forwarding to today Haldiram's has a diverse product portfolio which includes products like potato chips, western snacks, frozen foods, ready-to-eat meals, and even premium chocolates, thus helping it to reach a diverse customer base. Haldiram's also has a significant presence in the restaurant business. With over 150 restaurants across India. Thus enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement. and according to recent news, Haldiram's is also attracting interest from major foreign investors, including Blackstone and a UAE-based wealth fund (ADIA) to buy 76% (majority controling) stake in Haldiram's. This could potentially lead to significant boosting Haldiram's growth and market reach. do you think should Haldiram's stay an Indian brand?

I think Haldiram's should remain an Indian brand. Foreign investments might dilute its cultural significance and potentially alter the traditional recipes that make it unique. The brand's authenticity is its biggest strength, and that shouldn't be compromised for the sake of expansion.
The preservation of Haldiram's Indian identity is important, but so is its potential for growth. If major foreign investors like Blackstone and ADIA can boost its market reach while respecting its cultural heritage, it could be a win-win situation. After all, many global brands retain their cultural identity despite foreign ownership.
Given Haldiram's rich heritage and deep roots in Indian culture, I believe it should stay an Indian brand. The connection to its origins in Bikaner and its evolution into a household name across India is a key part of its identity. Maintaining its Indian ownership could help preserve its authenticity and cultural significance.
