 Inspiring Personalities - Mr.Mahasay Dharmapal (Founder of MDH Masalas) ::

It is going to be the yet another success story of the organisation in food industry. The Spicy Success story continues, as I had already wrote about the success stories of Shakthi Masala Duraisamy, Aachi Masala AD Padmasingh Isaac in my earlier posts. I just read about Mr.Mahasay Dharmapal, the founder of MDH (Mahashian Di Hatti) Masalas. As our fellow blogger Deepa says, "Keep it Silly Simple", here is the man who has done it and have seen huge success because of his simplicity and the quality of products he has given. He is the one who comes at the ad of MDH with a smiling face.

Early Days :

Mahashay Dharmpal is truly one of the most inspiring personalities of our times. He is personality of many dimensions and achievement He is a true Karamyogi who always reluctant to come into the limelight. Mahashay Dharmpal was born on 27th March, 1923 in Sialkot (Pakistan). His father Mahashay Chunnilal and mother Mata Chanan Devi were Philanthropic, religious minded and follower of Arya Samaj. In the year 1933, he left schoolbefore he could have completed 5th class. In 1937, he set up with the help of his father a small business of looking mirror and thereafter business and carpentry job, cloth merchant, hardware business & rice trading.

Somehow these petty businesses could not hold him for long and he joined hands with his father in his parental business i.e. Spices under the name ofMahashian Di Hatti popularly known as 'Deggi Mirch' people.

Rs.1,500 Investment made a difference :

After the partition of the country, he came to India and reached Delhi on 27th September 1947 . At that time his father has provided him with only Rs.1500/-.Out of this amount he purchased a Tonga (Horse-Drawn Carriage) forRs.650/- and ran it from New Delhi Railway Station to Qutab Road and Karol Bagh to Bara Hindu Rao at two Anna sawari for few days. He charged TWO ANNAs for a ride from Connaught Place to Karol Bagh and he couldn't run the family with this meager income.
