Brand launches one after another
Kamal Kant Chaurasia’s company KP Group gave new heights to this pan masala business. He launched Rajshree Gutkha in the year 2000, which became popular across the country. Then came Kamla Pasand, which became such a hit in North India that everyone became fond of it. Apart from this, products like KP Surti and Madhuban Pan Masala are also from this company. These brands strengthened the group. According to media reports, this expansion gave the company a turnover worth billions.
Not just pan masala: real estate and iron business too
KP Group was not limited to pan masala. The Chaurasia family tried its hand in real estate and iron business. The funds received from the earnings of Pan Masala helped these businesses to flourish. Today the group is spread across many areas, which shows the foresight of the family. The earnings of Kamla Pasand and other brands mainly come from the North Indian market. This group has a major stake in the pan masala sector. Additional income comes from real estate and iron. According to reports, this diversification gave stability to the company. But after the incident, people are raising questions on the brand’s image.
