the groupincorporated 2026 · thirty-five years of trade behind it

An Indian food & beverage group. Built for the export floor.

— who we are —

A category-led group, organised the way specialist houses actually deliver quality.

Agro Brands Private Limited operates three independent brands across rice, pulses, tea, coffee and packaged water. Each house is built around a single category, with its own sourcing network, packaging discipline and buyer base.

Khidmat is our premium aged-basmati line. Sundarbans covers the everyday Indian staples — pulses, regional rice, single-estate tea and South Indian coffee. Polar runs packaged drinking water and a functional beverage line under BIS and ISO 22000 systems.

The group is privately held, profitably run, and operated by a lean leadership team that reviews every dispatch against a written QC standard. We are built to clear FSSAI, MSME, Startup India and IEC compliance — all four registrations in progress, expected on file shortly.
