OUR STORY

Makhanawala's isn't just a brand of today,  it's a legacy 80 years in the making. Our journey began with a simple vision: to bring the nutritious makhana of Bihar to every corner of India, long before technology made everything glamorous. As one of the best makhana producers and among the best makhana producers in Pune, we source straight from the "land of makhana", the Mithila region of Bihar  from our own ponds, earning the trust of makhana traders, makhana dealers, and fox nuts traders nationwide.

Today, that same makhana comes in exciting new flavours, alongside healthy puffs and chips loved by every age group for their superfood benefits. We craft all-natural makhana into snacks that deliver "health and flavour" in one power-packed bite.

Beyond makhana, our non-fried puffs and chips, made with jowar, quinoa, ragi, oats, and real veggies, are crunchy, delicious, and guilt-free. As trusted makhana distributors and a leading makhana manufacturer in Pune, we partner with makhana dealers in Pune and beyond, making Makhanawala's a complete healthy snacking range you can enjoy without regret.

OUR JOURNEY

combines the wisdom of three generations with modern food science, creating snacks that honor tradition while meeting today's nutritional needs.

 

 THE BEGINNING : A LEGACY ROOTED IN SIMPLICITY

It all began with our beloved grandfather, the late Ram Chandra Sah, fondly known as the "Makhana Wala." He started cultivating and selling makhana at a time when the crop was known to only a handful of people, laying the foundation for what would become one of the best makhana producers in the country.

 EXPANDING CULTIVATION

We acquired ponds in the Mithila region of Bihar to cultivate seeds and trade raw makhana in the wholesale market, building strong relationships with makhana traders and fox nuts traders across the region. During this period, makhana was used primarily during Indian festivals.

ENTERING RETAIL: THE BIRTH OF MARUTI MAKHANA

Recognising makhana's potential as a mainstream healthy snack, we set up scalable production and began selling branded raw makhana through retail chains under the name "Maruti Makhana," growing into trusted makhana distributors and establishing ourselves as a leading makhana manufacturer in Pune.
