With over 35 years of experience in the dry fruits and spices industry, Padam Agarwal has been instrumental in shaping the group’s legacy and growth. As the first in his family to expand the business internationally, he established himself in Dubai under Bombay Food Stuff, a multi-award-winning brand that has become synonymous with quality, trust, and innovation.

Since 1994, Padam has led the company’s transformation from a traditional family enterprise into a market-leading group with diversified operations, laying a robust foundation for future generations.

Building on this legacy, his son Sumeet Agarwal has expanded the business into the modern retail space with the launch of Apex Star two years ago. This new venture reimagines the family’s heritage through a contemporary retail lens, offering premium dry fruits and spices while upholding the core values that have defined the brand for decades.
