PC Musthafa
About
Nobody epitomizes the quintessential rags-to-riches story better than PC Musthafa, the man behind the Rs.100 crore idli and dosa batter brand. A brand that has gone on to become a staple in every kitchen across India and the Middle-East.
While growing up in an illiterate farmer's family in a remote part of Kerala, PC Musthafa did not have a lot of expectations. But one 'Aha' moment changed his life, and today he is the founder and CEO of ID Fresh Food, a Rs 100 crore ready-to-cook packaged food company in Bangalore that makes idli and dosa batter.
Inspired by traditional Indian values, ID promotes authentic Indian foods which are fresh, 100% natural and preservative-free.
The company, which made 10 packets of one kilogram batter a day in 2005, manufactures 75,000 packets a day now and has grown into a team of 1,300 employees who work at their units in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Dubai.
His dream is to grow into a 1000 crore market leader in the next few years and believes in creating a social impact through his products and campaigns that revolve around trust, tradition and community building.
