BRITANNIA'S DISTRIBUTION AND MANUFACTURING
(Source : www.britannia.co.in)
The company was established in 1892 by a group of British businessmen with an investment of ₹265.
Initially, biscuits were manufactured in a small house in central Kolkata. Later, the enterprise was acquired by the Gupta brothers mainly Nalin Chandra Gupta, an attorney, and operated under the name "V.K Brothers."
In 1918, C.H. Holmes, an English businessman based in Kolkata, was taken on as a partner and The Britannia Biscuit Company Limited (BBCo) was launched.
The company name was changed to the current "Britannia Industries Limited" in 1979.
A few years later, control moved through a complicated process, which is still not fully understood, to Rajan Pillai, a Kerala-based businessman.
It was later taken control by Nusli Wadia and has remained with Wadia Group since then.
