Kejriwal Honey

What Kejriwal Honey does

Kejriwal Honey, operating through Kejriwal Bee Care India Pvt. Ltd., is India's pioneer and largest honey exporter, having shipped honey to Europe, USA, and the Middle East since 1996 under the wider Kejriwal Group (founded 1967). The company processes varietal honey — 17 documented varieties including Rapeseed/Mustard, Eucalyptus, Lychee, Sunflower, Karanj, Acacia, Wild Flora, Himalayan Multiflora, and Forest — on a state-of-the-art closed-circuit processing line with flash heating/cooling, filter presses, and 20 KL homogenization tanks capable of handling 100 MT per day and 15,000+ MT annually. Its in-house ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, equipped with EA-IRMS, LC/MS-MS, HPLC, Gas Chromatographs, and ELISA, is the only such facility operated by a honey packer in India.

Revenue is generated across five streams: bulk honey exports (300 kg drums and 1–100 kg buckets) to food manufacturers, HORECA, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics buyers; retail honey under the Nature's Nectar brand in glass (28 g–1,000 g) and PET (125 g–1,000 g) bottles; HoneyChew candy bars in five flavors; private label manufacturing for retailers; and allied bee products (pollen and beeswax). The company holds the world's first True Source Honey certification, the first ISO 22000:2005 honey processing accreditation in India, FSSC 22000, US FDA approval, HALAL, KOSHER, USDA and EU Organic, and Non-GMO certifications.

Go-to-market is B2B-led, built around direct sales and relationships developed at major food industry exhibitions (Anuga, Gulfood, Apimondia, World Food India, India Food Forum), complemented by a DTC retail and private label channel. The corporate base is in New Delhi (Greater Kailash II) with manufacturing and processing operations in Punjab (Rajpura/Patiala). The company is family-owned, with no disclosed external private equity or institutional investment, and operates as a private limited company.
