How Monginis Started
Monginis has an interesting history! In the early 1900s, two brothers from Italy ran a food service in Mumbai. Their food was very popular with people from Europe living in the city.
In 1958, the Khorakiwala family took over this food service. They named it Monginis Foods Private Limited. This was the start of the Monginis we know today!
Growing the Business
In 1971, Monginis started using a special way to grow its business called franchising. This means other people could open Monginis stores using the company's name and recipes.
Monginis wanted to make sure their products tasted good to local people. They also focused on making high-quality food that looked great. They wanted their shops to feel like special "food boutiques." This helped them become very successful across India.
