Shree Ram India Gums

What Shree Ram India Gums does

Shree Ram India Gums Ltd. is a Jodhpur, Rajasthan-based privately held manufacturer and exporter of guar gum powder and a portfolio of related derivatives, founded in 1974 by Mr. Mohan Lal Soni and now led by Chairman & CEO Om Prakash Soni alongside four other family directors. Its core operations center on producing food-grade and industrial-grade guar gum powder, guar split, guar meal (Churi and Korma, up to 55% protein), and guar protein (56–80% protein content), with one plant producing more than 15 million pounds annually and three storage facilities holding up to 50 million pounds of guar beans. The company exports to 14+ countries including the USA, China, Germany, the UK, the UAE, South Africa, Japan, and the Netherlands, relying on a B2B direct-sales model with quote-based pricing and government-recognized Star Export House status.

The technology base consists of conventional processing infrastructure (dehusking, milling, screening, roasting for trypsin inhibitor removal in guar meal) combined with in-house microbiology and chemistry laboratories testing across protein, viscosity, moisture, microbial counts, and other specifications, supported by certifications including ISO 22000, ISO 9001, USDA Organic, Kosher, Halal, and UKAS. Beyond guar, SRIG manufactures and exports cassia gum (following a 2018 acquisition of a stake in a Vadodara manufacturing unit), sesbania gum, psyllium husk, and specialty chemicals (Calcium D Saccharate, Potassium D Saccharate), and trades agro commodities including rice at 40,000 MTS yearly capacity. The company has diversified into non-core ventures: hospitality (Hotel Shree Ram International since 2000; Fairfield by Marriott Jodhpur since 2015), quartz stone manufacturing (Pelican Quartz, 2016), nutraceuticals (Revolutionary Wellness plant-based protein brand, 2020), and sustainable energy (31 MW of wind across 6 states and a 5.5 MW solar project, with over $26 million invested).

Revenue mechanics rest on one-time B2B product sales of bulk ingredients to food processing, animal feed, pharmaceutical, and industrial customers internationally, supplemented by direct-to-consumer hospitality, branded nutraceuticals, and renewable energy sales. Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers, and customer acquisition is driven by direct outreach via the corporate website, phone, and email rather than digital channels. The company employs 51–100 staff across the group, is entirely family-owned with no external institutional investors or public listing, and reinvests earnings to fund acquisitions, capacity expansion, and the green energy buildout.
