Regional players

• Bhringaraj Spices (Bhringaraj Group): Indian spice processor and exporter serving bulk and private label customers, primarily in domestic and select overseas markets. Comparable in spice product categories and B2B supply, though with smaller global footprint than Swani.

Emerging players
