Our Mission
Our commitment to your holistic well-being is reflected in every aspect of our ‘mishri’ production process. We use no artificial ingredients, flavours, or colours, ensuring that our products contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
Not only this, but our mission extends beyond our products. We believe in sustainability and community support and have reached the point to an extent by building hospitals, public water tanks, and ashrams, among others. Our goal is to continue the growth and expansion, making people aware of the benefits of our “taal mishris” and empowering our factories and employees with modern technologies.
At Dulal Chandra Bhar’s Palm Candy, we’re dedicated to making a healthier, happier you and a better world for all.
Our Vision
We aspire to be a global brand, making the purest form of palm candy available not only to the Indian diaspora but to people around the world who seek natural and authentic products. Our partnership with renowned retailers and e-commerce giants like Amazon, Flipkart, and Bigbasket reflects our zeal and commitment to reaching a wider audience.
In the coming years, we will focus on enhancing hygiene and packaging, integrating technology and automation into our processes, and upholding our ethical and sustainable practices.
Our vision now extends beyond horizons as we aim to expand our presence in the UK, America, and other international markets. Our employees are integral to our success, and we will continue fostering a culture of growth and respect. At Dulal Chandra Bhar’s Palm Candy, we’re not just a business; we’re a tradition, a promise to quality, and a symbol of well-being.
PAST
Our journey began during the peak of World War II when the demand and business of food products was booming. Dulal Chandra Bhar, a simple Bengali businessman with extraordinary foresighted and innovative thoughts, started a company that has been processing palm candy for decades. The man began his remarkable journey single-handedly and introduced the brand even before India gained independence. His innovation leaves its impact on every palm candy we produce. Initially, the late Dulal Chandra Bhar started his business venture manufacturing sugar candy ‘ sada mishri’ in Kolkata. With time, he understood the quality standard and market demand and the need to manufacture something new, something unique. His bold move to produce palm candy using palm juice as the raw material marked a turning point in his business journey.
Bhar’s ancestral house is situated at Rajbalhat in Hooghly district. The family owns acres of land in their old place. They have a whole lot of palm trees within the land’s boundary, and the visionary man, Dulal Chandra Bhar, found his raw material at his home ground. Jaggery extracted from palm dates had been the raw material for making ‘Taal Misri.’
In 1937, the founder of the brand registered land in the company’s name and started the full-fledged business. Since then, we have our two big factories in Kaikhali and Domjur. We never did any advertising to market our products. It all began with word of mouth, and now it’s been a household name.
PRESENT
Our production units are the monuments reflecting our dedication, with each procedure being meticulously executed and monitored by trained personnel. We remain committed to producing a healthy range of products, free from artificial ingredients, flavours, or colours. Apart from age-old clients and retaining partners, we collaborate with renowned retailers and e-commerce giants like Metro Cash & Carry, Spencers Pvt Ltd., Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket, and many more to reach our product to every corner of the country and across.
FUTURE
The company is dedicated to modernising the production processes, enhancing hygiene, and improving packaging over the next 3 to 4 years. Technology and automation are at the forefront of our future plans.
More than anything, we remain rooted in authenticity and ethics. We treat our employees as family and prioritise their well-being.
DULAL CHANDRA BHAR
Dulal Chandra Bhar was not just a visionary entrepreneur but also a symbol of simplicity and dedication. He joined his father’s textile business at the age of 13. He moved to Kolkata to start a new business of producing sugar candy. Soon, he realised the market demand for something new. Gradually, his insight led him to perceive the potential demand and rising need for palm candy in the market and he switched from his then “sada mishri” business to a palm candy brand. In 1937, he registered land in the name of his company, and since then, there has been no looking back. At age 65, he built a cold storage unit for his company in their village in Hooghly, showing his commitment to innovation and quality.
We honour his contribution by carrying his vision and values forward toward the future, continuing to provide the world with the purest form of palm juice and promoting overall well-being.
