== Origins ==<br />
In the early 1990s, India’s packaged bread market was dominated by [[Modern Food Industries|Modern]] and [[Britannia Industries|Britannia]]. Bread was sold in wax paper and consumers often queued at delivery vans. Short shelf life constrained national distribution and encouraged strong local brands.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Farooqui |first=Noria |date=2012-04-01 |title=Harvest Gold: Delhi's No. 1 Bread |url=https://doi.org/10.1177/0256090920120208 |journal=Vikalpa |language=EN |volume=37 |issue=2 |pages=117–134 |doi=10.1177/0256090920120208 |issn=0256-0909 |via=Sage|url-access=subscription }}</ref><br />
Harvest Gold was founded by Adil Hassan, a chemical engineer from [[IIT Delhi]], and Taab Siddiqui, an MBA from [[Aligarh Muslim University]]. After marrying in 1988, they moved to Singapore and returned to Delhi in 1992, identifying a market gap for fresh, good-quality bread. With an investment of ₹1 Crore, Harvest Gold Foods India Pvt. Ltd. setup a manufacturing plant in [[Bhiwadi]], Rajasthan and began production in June 1993 with an installed capacity of 75,000 loaves of 800 grams per day.<ref name="economictimes_58847594" /><ref name=":0" /> The initial products were premium white bread in 400 g (₹7) and 800 g (₹13) packs.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Within roughly two years of launch, the firm established itself as a leading Delhi-NCR brand, reaching ₹400 million turnover in five years. By around 2010, Harvest Gold reported a turnover exceeding ₹1.2 billion and an expanded product line.<ref name=":0" /><br />
