Our founder story
Three generations. One family. One promise of fresh atta.
In the early 1960s, Ladharam Bhanushali came to Mumbai with hard work, honesty and a deep respect for good grain. In a new city, he built the family's name the slow way — one household, one order, one honest pack at a time. For the families who knew him, fresh flour was never just flour. It was trust, brought home.
That legacy was carried forward by the second generation, Bhanji Bhanushali, who kept the family's craft alive through the years when factory-packed atta took over the shelves. While atta became something milled weeks earlier, somewhere far away, he held on to the old way — grain kept whole, flour ground fresh, and a name a neighbourhood could rely on.
Today, the third generation, Nikhil Bhanushali, carries that experience forward. With 10 years of hands-on experience in freshly milled flour, Nikhil started Nanak Attawala as a separate venture — with one clear purpose: to serve households across Mumbai with all those years of family experience behind every pack. That is why we still mill only after you order, in small batches in Powai, print the milling date on the pack, and deliver it the same day across Mumbai.
When you order from us, you're not buying from a warehouse. You're trusting a story that began with Ladharam in the early 1960s, was protected by Bhanji, and is now milled fresh for your family by Nikhil — so your children grow up knowing the same soft roti and the same fresh aroma you grew up with.
