A Legacy of Love and Sweets: The Shreeji Dry Fruits Story

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] August 12: The story of Shreeji Dry Fruits is not just about a business, it’s about legacy, trust, and three generations of hard work. It all began over four decades ago with Girdharlal Thakrar and his family members. He along with his family laid the first brick of this dream, starting small but always delivering the best.

His son, Jaysukh Girdharlal Thakrar along with his family members, carried that legacy forward with dedication and honesty. They expanded the business, built lasting relationships with customers, and made Shreeji a household name in Mumbai.

Today, Pratik and Abhishek Jaysukhlal Thakrar has stepped in, not just to continue the family legacy, but to take it to the next level. With modern ideas and the same old-school values, they are growing the brand while preserving the heart of what makes it special.

As Pratik says, “We’re not just running a business. We’re carrying forward our grandfather’s vision and our father’s principles—one sweet at a time.”

The Silent Force Behind the Brand – The Mother’s Role

Pratik’s mother has played a huge role in the business. She is the one who truly brought flavor into the venture. She is the one who knew all the secret family recipes, and she played a key role in shaping the taste and tradition that the brand is known for today.

In fact, it was her passion for home-style sweets that led to the early success of Shreeji. Even now, more than four decades later, she remains actively involved in the kitchen, guiding the team, ensuring quality, and preserving the original taste that loyal customers have loved for years.

As Pratik puts it, “She is the soul of our sweets. Every recipe still has her touch. Without her, Shreeji wouldn’t be what it is today.”

One thing which is really commendable is that the staff members of the Shreeji Dry Fruits are very kind and hardworking. The owners of Shreeji Dry Fruits always take good care of their workers. They treat them as their own family members not as workers.
