OUR STORY
About Us
What began as a modest dream in West Bengal over three decades ago has today grown into one of India’s trusted food companies – Sona Biscuits Ltd. (SOBISCO).
Founded in 1988 by Shri Kailash Chand Agarwal, whose journey in the bakery business began as early as 1961, SOBISCO was born from a simple but powerful belief – to make food with the same care and honesty as one would for their own family.
From its first production unit to its present-day multi-category operations, SOBISCO’s growth has been guided by that very belief, creating food that brings joy, trust, and togetherness to millions of homes. Over the years, SOBISCO has expanded its capabilities with a manufacturing and packaging infrastructure spread across more than 400,000 sq. ft., supported by a committed workforce of over 5,000 people, including both direct and contractual teams. Our distribution network of nearly 3,000 distributors and sub-distributors reaches over 40 lakh retail outlets across 26 states, ensuring freshness and availability wherever our consumers are.
Behind this remarkable journey lies a culture of consistency, innovation, and integrity. From ensuring globally benchmarked production quality, certified by ISO and BRC Grade-A standards, to embracing modern technology and sustainability, SOBISCO continues to uphold its promise of safe, reliable, and enjoyable food. As we evolve from a cherished biscuit brand to a dynamic food company offering biscuits, cakes, noodles, rusks, and wafers, one thing has never changed, our commitment to making food that feels like family, prepared with honesty, shared with love, and remembered with joy.
