AS PER WEBSITE

 

 

Founded as a small family enterprise in 1963 by partners H. Z. Gilani and A. K. Tejani, Gits is now at the forefront of the instant foods revolution in India. Pioneering the ready-to-cook concept with a range of dehydrated soup mixes such as Tomato, Vegetable and Chicken, Gits moved on to bring diverse traditional Indian foods from 'Halwais' (sweet makers) and 'Bawarchis' (chefs) to the home. 

Gits has captured India's fast growing market through its quality products, formidable distribution network and aggressive marketing strategy. The company now manufactures a whole range of Indian snacks developed and perfected by rigorous in-house R&D. This has enabled Gits to roll full steam to a position of brand leadership. Gits has won awards consecutively over the years for its growing exports. Today, exports to USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Asia, the Middle East and Europe account for 35% of total revenue.

This unprecedented growth was secured under the leadership of Joint Managing Directors, M.A. Tejani and R. H. Gilani.

Gits 'primary concern is quality : A commitment that necessitates consistent investment in Technology and modern equipment. Gits products are manufactured by automatic machines in strictly hygienic conditions at plants in Pune and Nasik. 

The ultra-modern dairy plant at Nandur is supplied and installed by Alfa-Laval. 

Rigorous implementation of strict quality control ensures that Gits products always match high purity standards. Only farm fresh produce provide the raw materials for its products. ISO 9002, a systems benchmark of international standards, is under implementation in the organisation.

 
Gits' growing national distribution network presently comprises depots and C&F agents stationed in every major Indian state. Distribution depth is provided by 600 distributors located across India. A hundred strong sales force provides the cutting edge to the company's marketing and merchandising efforts.

In its globalisation effort, Gits is further developing its strong export market in the Middle East, USA, UK and other European countries. After achieving success's by focusing export efforts on the South Asian community, Gits is strategically broadening its target group to include the Non-Asian, and has flagged off this strategy launching new international style export packaging.

   
Streamlining of manufacturing process and strengthening of the marketing and distribution networks are part of the on-going efforts. R&D operation are geared to extend product lines while retaining core competencies. Consumer satisfaction remains Gits' hallmarks as it ventures to new destinations ahead. 

 

Traversing and integrating the entire country, Gits brings a mouth-watering range of Indian delights. For the sweet tooth, it offers Gulab Jamun Mix and Jilebi Mix- universal favourites. Lovers of South-Indian cuisine can choose from Idli, Rava (Semolina) Idli, Dosa and Sambhar Mix. Gits' Dhokla Mix and Khaman Dhokla come to you straight from Gujarat in Western India. Gits Pakora entertains guests at teatime, another national favourite. Bengali sweets, an offering from the east, will be launched shortly. Working on the platform of instant mixes, Gits then targeted the famous Indian Papads, and was the first to bring to the market fully machine-made papads of all varieties in standard sizes. A unique line of Mini Papads was launched, and new lip-smacking varieties of Mini Papads based on Potato, Corn and Rice have been added to the range. 

Exploring new tracks, Gits has diversified into the dairy products segment. Two companies, namely : Convenience Foods Pvt. Ltd. and Clover Foods Pvt. Ltd., were set up to manufacture pure ghee, dairy whitener and milk powder under the trusted Gits brand name. Gits Pure Ghee has been awarded the Agmark special grade in recognition of its superior quality by the government of India. Gits Milk Powder bears the ISI quality mark issued by the Bureau of Indian standards (Govt. of India). Gits will soon unveil Whole Milk Powder, Skim Milk Powder and other dairy products.
