Our Journey Through Time

From humble beginnings to becoming a household name, Kondaji Chivda has been a part of many memorable moments. Join us as we look back at our journey and glimpse into the exciting future ahead.

  • Kondaji Gunaji Wavre establishes the brand in Nashik, crafting the first batch of our signature chivda, using traditional recipes passed down through generations. The brand begins as a small family business, focused on quality and authenticity.
  • The second generation of the Wavre family takes over, expanding to Pune and modernizing production. Packaging is introduced to ensure the chivda reaches new customers, and local distribution begins in nearby cities.
  • The first retail store opens in Pune, offering freshly made chivda to local customers. This marks the beginning of our physical presence and expansion into the retail market. The store quickly becomes a popular destination for anyone craving a taste of tradition.
  • With the success of the first store, Kondaji Chivda opens multiple locations across Maharashtra. The brand begins exporting its products, bringing the taste of traditional chivda to global markets. We start introducing new flavors and innovative packaging, attracting younger audiences while maintaining our classic offerings.
  • Kondaji Chivda embraces the digital age with the launch of its official website and online store. Now customers from all over the world can enjoy our products at the click of a button. We also expand our product range to include snacks and ready-to-eat meals.
