Hai Ram! Ab Haldiram?
Coincidence, or a calculated chili powder play?

Just as a global consortium led by Blackstone offered a cool $8.5 billion for a controlling stake, whispers of safety concerns emerged from Singapore and Hong Kong.

Crunch Time For Haldiram
Haldiram’s, the king of Indian snacks, is in hot oil.

These reports, unvalidated by major food safety bodies, leave a suspicious aroma in the air. Did a rival sprinkle some doubt to weaken Haldiram’s before the big bite? Or is this a genuine case of inspectors with a sensitive palate?

Haldiram maintains radio silence, but their next move will be the real chutney.

Will Haldiram reject the offer, spicing things up with a public defense, or will negotiations heat up, leading to a new recipe for the company’s future?

It is worth staying tuned—this takeover tale is just getting interesting.
