How He Made 500 Crores by Selling Aachaar | Nilon's Dipak Sanghvi

You won’t believe how a small-town pickle brand from Jalgaon is quietly building a ₹1000 CRORE empire, without VC money, without flashy branding… just raw, rooted strategy.

What if we told you that India’s next FMCG giant isn’t selling chips or colas, but pickles?
This isn’t just a story. It’s a blueprint for anyone dreaming of building the next big Indian brand.
Nilons didn't go online. Didn’t raise millions to start with. They didn’t chase vanity.

Instead, they hijacked Indian kitchens, hacked General Trade, and built an empire one jar at a time.

The leadership formula that turned factory workers into brand custodians
