A Legacy of Authentic Taste, Born from Passion

The story of Thakur Foods began with one man’s vision — Vinod Thakur, a passionate food enthusiast who believed that authentic Indian flavors should be enjoyed fresh, no matter where you live. Having moved to the United States with a dream and deep-rooted love for Indian food, Vinod noticed a growing gap — the lack of freshly made, high-quality Indian snacks that captured the true essence of home.

Determined to fill that void, Vinod founded Thakur Foods with a simple yet powerful mission:

“To bring authentic, freshly made Indian snacks to every home in America — crafted with care, quality, and tradition.”

Starting from a small production unit, Vinod focused on creating products that resonated with the warmth and nostalgia of Indian kitchens — from crispy Pani Puri shells and golden Papdi to crunchy Sev and soft, aromatic Pav bread. His dedication to freshness, consistency, and quality quickly made Thakur Foods a trusted name among restaurants, grocery stores, and families across the United States.

A New Generation of Innovation

In 2023, the torch was passed to his son, Kunal Thakur, who grew up watching his father’s relentless commitment to quality and authenticity. With a background enriched by international exposure and modern business acumen, Kunal brought a new era of innovation to the brand while preserving its traditional values.

He envisioned a state-of-the-art production facility — designed to combine automation, hygiene, and precision with the soul of traditional Indian cooking. His approach introduced advanced quality control, efficient large-scale manufacturing systems, and eco-friendly operations, ensuring that every Thakur Foods product remains fresh, consistent, and true to its roots.

From Heritage to Global Horizons

Today, Thakur Foods stands proudly as one of the largest Indian snack producers in the USA, manufacturing and exporting authentic products that celebrate India’s rich culinary heritage. Our brand continues to grow under the philosophy that started it all — family values, uncompromising quality, and the belief that food made with passion connects people everywhere.

From a father’s dream to a son’s innovation, Thakur Foods remains Your Partner in Authentic Food Solutions — sharing the true taste of India with the world, one bite at a time.
