CHANDERKARSWEETS

In 1944, 'Chanderkar Sweets' was founded by Shri. Laxman A. Chanderkar (Lucky Chanderkar). This was a time when Mumbai was a hub of textile mills. Shri Laxman A. Chanderkar, with a humble beginning, started by supplying sweets to the canteens of some of these mills. For this, he introduced sweetmeats with a higher shelf life such as Kadak Boondi Ladoo, Malvani Khaja, Mesur, Balushahi, etc. in keeping with the requirement. And soon was supplying to more than 40 mills. He went on to buy a factory in Prabhadevi & researched and bettered the quality of the products to provide nutritional benefits to mill workers. 'Kadak Boondi Ladoo' soon became a hot favourite. Chanderkar Sweets became a chain of 4 shops in Worli, Prabhadevi, Dadar and Parel, all key places of Mumbai at the time. To this day people remember Shri. Laxman A. Chanderkar as 'Ladoo Samrat' owing to the large 'ladoo' displayed in front of the Worli shop made by his son Pramod Chanderkar ( Bhau Chanderkar) at a very young age.....
