History
Established in 1986.
It was in 1986 when wholesaler Ghansham Aggarwal opened his very first store. Much has changed since. The retailer developed to a specialist and today imports over 2,000 different articles. 70 percent thereof from India. The wide range includes dry items, fresh fruits, citrus fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, frozen items, beverages, household and cosmetic articles. The private labels Paras - named after the head of the family, Mohini Fine Foods, Khalis and Seaqueen are of particular source of pride.
Meet the Business Owner: Ghansham A.
He followed his heart. It is out of love that Ghansham Aggarwal moved to Switzerland in 1980. The young man wanted to go out into the wide world and took a job in Germany. And then it happened. He met his present wife, who is from Switzerland, and moved to the Alpine country. Shortly thereafter, the couple began to import and sell Indian spices.
Later, his brother Dinesh moved to Switzerland. The families grew and now the two daughters Sangeeta and Chetna, son-in-law Karan, as well as nephew Amrit work in the family business. In a few years, Ghansham will retire and hand over the scepter to the next generation. Or not... it will take time to get used to doing nothing.
