From a tonga to a spice empire
After Partition, Mahashay Dharampal Gulati rebuilt from almost nothing in Delhi.
Dharampal Gulati's family ran a spice shop in Sialkot called Mahashian Di Hatti. In 1947, Partition forced them to leave everything behind.
In Delhi, with very little money, he first drove a tonga to earn a living. Soon he went back to what he knew, and opened a small spice shop in Karol Bagh.
He focused on pure, well-ground spices and on knowing his customers. That small shop grew into MDH, one of India's most familiar spice brands.
