The narrative begins with Ganga Bhishen Agarwal—known as Haldiram—starting out at age 12, innovating by mixing moth dal into traditional bhujia and naming it \"Dungar\" sev after a local Maharaja. From modest beginnings in the early 20th century, the brand expanded across generations, overcoming fierce internal family rivalries, territorial splits, trademark disputes, court battles, and even a murder scandal. Along the way, siblings and cousins navigated regional expansions—particularly into Delhi and Kolkata—amid communal riots and rebuilding efforts. Told through interviews across four generations of the Agarwal family, the book combines business insight with dramatic storytelling, offering an engaging look at Indian family enterprise and the cultural dynamics behind one of the nation’s iconic homegrown brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003eAbout the author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003ePavitra Kumar\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Deolali, Maharashtra, in 1985, as the daughter of an army officer.
