Our story began
before our mill
Our family’s association with the rice industry dates back to the early 1960s, with Late Sri Jugal Kishore Sarda. His values and experience laid the foundation for what would later become Sri Balaji Rice Mill.
In 1980, Late Sri J.K. Muralidhar Sarda established Sri Balaji Rice Mill (SBRM) at Ballari, Karnataka on a five-acre facility. In 1984, J.K. Govindnarayan Sarda joined the business and led several upgrades. The next generation, G. Prashanth Kumar Sarda (MBA, 2007) joined the family business, and G. Sagar Sarda (MBA) is also actively involved in the business.
