This investment underscores Bikanervala’s commitment to expanding its global footprint and delivering authentic Indian culinary experiences to a wider audience. The strategic location within NIP, a hub for manufacturing and trade, positions Bikanervala to enhance its supply chain efficiency and explore new markets.
