Everest Food Products Pvt. Ltd. generated ₹2,500 Cr of revenue at a modeled 14.0% EBITDA margin (₹350 Cr EBITDA), holding its position as India's #1 branded-spice brand (~16% share, ahead of MDH). Blended Masalas leads the portfolio at ₹1,375 Cr, and the organized-channel + export book is 36% of revenue and rising. Roughly ₹38 Cr of EBITDA sits between today's margin and the 15.5% target — held in the still-scaling categories and A&P intensity — while the balance sheet stays near net-cash (0.2×). The defining agenda is food-safety trust (ETO-free steam sterilization and FSSAI / export compliance after the 2024 export recalls). Use the smart alerts below to interrogate any anomaly with AI.
