OUR STORY

A Legacy Built
on Trust and
Tradition

For over five decades GRB has cherished the faith and unshakeable trust of its customers. It has now evolved from a ghee manufacturing entity to a multi-product, multi-brand company. GRB has become synonymous with ‘Purity’ in the Indian market and over the years it has built a reputation and legacy for authentic traditional taste.

Proudly Pure.

Since 1970.

Our journey did not begin in boardrooms or with balance sheets,
it began on a bicycle. Yes, you read it right, with a young visionary
on a bicycle on the streets of Bengaluru - carrying only a singular belief: Purity must never be compromised.

That humble beginning laid the foundation for a lifelong commitment to food made responsibly, carefully, and with purpose.
