The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) expresses its profound grief on the sad demise of Shri Shiv Ratan Agarwal, Founder and Chairman of Bikaji Foods International.

A visionary industrialist and a pioneering force in India’s FMCG and traditional foods sector, Shri Agarwal played a defining role in taking the rich legacy of Indian, particularly Bikaneri, food products to national and global markets. His leadership not only built a trusted and widely recognised brand but also contributed significantly to positioning Indian snacks and culinary heritage on the world stage.

His passing marks the loss of a distinguished entrepreneur whose contributions to industry and enterprise will be remembered for years to come.
