MDH Owner Mahashay Dharampal Gulati Dies at 99

Mahashian Di Hatti, better known as MDH, is a popular brand of spices in India and over the years Mahashay Dharampal Gulati had become the iconic face of the brand.
 

 
 

New Delhi: MDH owner Mahashay Dharampal Gulati passed away at the age of 99 at a hospital in the national capital on Sunday, claimed media said.
 
Mahashian Di Hatti, better known as MDH, is a popular brand of spices in India and over the years Gulati had become the iconic face of the brand, featuring in its advertisements. The company began as a small shop in Pakistan's Sialkot, which was set up by his father before partition. However, after 1947, the family moved to the national capital.
 
According to popular stories, the MDH owner rented a tonga after arriving in Delhi and started ferrying travelers from Connaught Place to Karol Bagh. Forced into poverty, there were days Dharampal had no passengers. Some even hurled abuses at him.
 
 

 
 

Fed up of misery, he sold his tonga, rented a shop in Chandni Chowk in 1953, named it Mahashiyan Di Hatti (MDH) and started doing what he knew best — selling spices.
 
According to a report, the company was officially set up in the national capital in 1959 after Gulati legally bought a plot in Kirti Nagar and started the manufacturing unit. Later, he opened the same at Ajmal Khan Road in Karol Bagh area. Today, the company sells its spices across the globe with a multi-million dollar empire.
 
Gulati, popularly referred to as 'Mahashay ji' was born in 1922 in Pakistan's Sialkot.
