Sachin Malpani is the founder and driving force behind Malpani’s Bakelite, a leading brand in the bakery industry known for its high-quality vegetarian products. Born into a prominent Maheshwari family in Pune, Sachin’s entrepreneurial journey began early, shaped by financial hardships and the decline of his family’s traditional tobacco snuff business. After several unsuccessful ventures during his youth, Sachin found his true calling in the food industry, where his passion for quality and innovation took root.
In 1999, Sachin started his bakery business in a small 70 sq. ft. room at Harihar Mandir, Pune. With minimal resources but a clear vision, he set out to create 100% vegetarian bakery products that customers could trust for their purity and taste. Despite numerous setbacks, including product failures and financial struggles, Sachin remained determined to succeed. His commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality, combined with his refusal to compromise on ingredients, eventually paid off.
Malpani’s Bakelite grew steadily under Sachin’s leadership, expanding from small-scale operations to a full-fledged factory of 1000 sq. ft. at Narhe MIDC with a production capacity of over 1700 kilograms per day. The brand became synonymous with its Khari, toast, and biscuit varieties, offering customers products that enhanced their tea time experience. Today, Malpani’s Bakelite is widely recognized for its focus on hygiene, purity, and customer satisfaction.
Sachin’s professional achievements extend beyond business growth. He has built a strong and loyal network of distributors, workers, and suppliers, many of whom have been with him since the early days of the business. His leadership style, rooted in collaboration and uplifting others, has been instrumental in the success of Malpani’s Bakelite, making it a trusted brand across India.
