- Haldiram was established in 1941 in Rajasthan by Moolchand and expanded to Kolkata in 1958 and other parts of western India. It opened its first shop in Delhi's Chandni Chowk market in 1983, focusing on sweets and snacks.
- It is now run by Moolchand's sons and grandsons. The brand has a high quality image and wide product range. A survey found they have the largest market share in Delhi but provide lower margins to retailers than competitors.
- To increase market share, Haldiram could provide higher margins to retailers and better promote products to young consumers through advertising. The brand awareness for Haldiram remains high among consumers.
