Leelaram Enterprises Sets Industry Benchmark in Dehydrated Potato Processing with India’s First Potato Flakes Plant

Leelaram Enterprises is a Food Processing Consulting Company based out of India. The company was founded by industry professionals with a combined experience of 160+ years spanning the Food Processing Industry and the Training & Development sector.

Pioneering India’s First Potato Flakes Processing Plant

At the heart of Leelaram Enterprises’ expertise is its seasoned and highly experienced Food Technologist, Dinesh Garg, who has to his credit the setup and establishment of India’s very first potato flakes processing plant. Following the plant setup, he worked relentlessly to develop 150+ product applications using potato flakes and added value to 316+ clients through application development, product improvisation, and standardization. His efforts enabled manufacturers to move away from traditional raw potato usage to potato flakes, saving significant time, cost, and complexity related to water usage and potato waste management, while allowing them to focus on their core USPs.

Reinventing Aloo Bhujia and Industry Practices

Aloo Bhujia is one such product where potato flakes usage is extensive. Dinesh Garg reinvented Aloo Bhujia and implemented it commercially by replacing raw potato at Bikaji Foods International, Bikaner, after which potato was never used again for Aloo Bhujia production. This breakthrough became an industry benchmark. Many of India’s leading savory manufacturers, who were among his earliest clients, credit him for saving them from challenges related to price variation, quality fluctuations of starch and sugar, water dependency, and waste management.

Recognized as an authority in Potato Flakes Processing and Product Development, he is widely respected within the food processing fraternity, which regularly seeks his consulting and advisory interventions. Under Leelaram Enterprises, this deep experience and expertise are applied to ensure excellence in executing and modernizing highly economical, efficient, and respected potato flakes processing plants across the country.
