Om Sweets, a prominent name in Northern India’s hospitality sector, has a rich history that began in the 1960s with the Kathuria brothers—Om Prakash, Pushpender, and Sunil Dutt—starting a small sweet shop in Gurugram.
Their family’s roots trace back to pre-Partition Multan, where they relied on their skill in making sohan halwa for their livelihood.
This humble beginning has evolved into a successful enterprise known for its extensive menu of over 600 items, catering to a diverse clientele.
The flagship product of Om Sweets is the doda barfi, a unique Indian fudge that has garnered a reputation for its exceptional quality. The shop sells between 8,000 to 10,000 kilograms daily, with sales peaking at 50,000 kilograms during festivals.
This product significantly contributes to the brand’s turnover, accounting for 20-30% of total sales.
The company has maintained traditional methods in its production, using a special wheat sprout called angoori, which is integral to the doda barfi’s distinctive flavor.
Om Sweets has expanded to 20 outlets across Delhi-NCR and boasts a remarkable turnover of Rs 600 crore.
The business operates as a joint family venture, with the Kathuria brothers living and working together, emphasizing a culture of earning one’s place within the company for future generations.
New family members with MBA backgrounds have recently joined, ensuring the continuation of the family legacy.
Looking ahead, Om Sweets aims to capitalize on the projected growth of India’s organized namkeen and mithai industry, which is expected to grow at 10-12% annually.
The brand plans to expand its reach through express retail outlets, takeaways, and casual dining options, reinforcing its commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation in the sweets market.
