Our Story
A Legacy That Found Its Purpose
World’s No. 1 Basmati Rice Brand
In 1889, a family in India began a small trading business built on honesty, consistency, and respect - values that have endured across generations.
It evolved into KRBL Limited, bringing decades of experience in sourcing, processing, and delivering quality at scale.
Much later, India Gate marked a clear shift, from trading many things to mastering a single grain.
