Accordingly the owner of MDH 'Mahashay' Dharampal Gulati is the MDH owner, who is fondly called 'dadaji' and 'Mahashayji', was born in 1923 in Sialkot, Pakistan. A school dropout, Gulati joined his father's spice business in Sialkot and after partition, moved to India where he opened a shop in Karol Bagh in Delhi.
Meanwhile from there, he built the entire group to one of India's leading spices manufacturer expanding to 15 factories. When speaking to The Economic Times last year, he said, "His motivation to work is being sincere in product quality sold at affordable prices and nearly 90% of my salary goes to charity in my personal capacity." Furthermore even at an age where most of his peers retire, the 96 year old makes his daily round of factories, markets and dealers including on Sundays until he is satisfied everything is in order in the company where he holds 80% stake.
As per report MDH has offices in Dubai and London. Apparently it has more than 60 products but gets a bulk of its sales from three variants Deggi Mirch, Chat Masala and Channa Masala.
