About Us

The new millennia modernized more and more households with global exposure through travel, television, and discretionary expenditure grew rapidly. Consumption of ragi went down and it had gained a perception of being an old, black staple food that is sticky, no individual taste, and also difficult to make dishes from. Smt. Indira was always fascinated with ragi, which she consumed in her childhood, and saw an opportunity to bring healthy and natural ragi cereal-based products back into mainstream food with the convenience of the modern world. Along with ragi products, Indira Foods has added other products that fit into the modern world making cooking easy.

Currently, Indira Food Pvt Ltd. is present across four product categories: Ragi Products, Tamarind Concentrate and Tomato Pastes, Instant Rasam Pastes, Ketchup, Jam, and Pickles. Indira Foods has 3 brands under which its products are sold Indira’s, Splitz and Pingani.
