Speaking on the expansion plans, Vijay C, Director, Indira Foods said, “Indira Foods is on a strong footing to meet the next wave of growth as it wants to build on the hard work done so far. It is gratifying to see a homegrown brand make it big in this domain. Even more gratifying is the trust and faith of eminent personalities’ such as Mr. Ullas Kamath who has reposed his faith in the brand and that makes us confident of the future.
