Success does not always come from big investments or large resources; often, it is born from hard work, honesty, and consistent effort. One such inspiring journey is that of Kashid Bandhu Samosewale, a name that has become synonymous with taste and trust in Maharashtra. What began as a small home-based effort in 1984 has today grown into a widely respected food business under the leadership of Umesh Manohar Kashid.
A Humble Beginning Rooted in Struggle
The foundation of Kashid Bandhu Samosewale was laid in 1984 when Mrs. Vanita Manohar Kashid decided to make and sell samosas from home to support her family financially and ensure her children’s education. With extremely limited resources, she requested a small space from senior traders at Ambedkar Chowk in Phaltan, who allowed her to stand there out of goodwill.
On the very first day, sales began with just 12 samosas, one chair, one plate, and a small container. At that time, the elder son Umesh Manohar Kashid was studying while also supporting the family. Selling those 12 samosas took nearly an hour, but that modest start laid the foundation for a remarkable success story.
Gradual Growth Through Persistence
Initially, samosas were prepared at home on a small gas stove using a tiny frying pan, where only four to five samosas could be fried at a time. The family lived in a 10×12-foot rented room, and the samosas were carried on foot to Ambedkar Chowk every day.
As customers began appreciating the taste and consistency, demand steadily increased. A chair was replaced by a table, followed by the purchase of a bicycle. Over time, the business acquired the necessary municipal food license and handcart permit. Later, a second-hand two-wheeler was purchased, making transportation of raw materials and finished products easier.
Modernisation Without Losing Tradition
With experience came improvements. Today, the business uses high-speed stoves, large frying pans, and modern machines to knead dough, roll samosas, and prepare fillings efficiently. While earlier only 5–10 samosas could be made at a time, the capacity has now increased to 45–50 samosas per batch.
Currently, between 5 pm and 8 pm, nearly 1,500 to 2,000 samosas are sold every day. Kashid Bandhu Samosewale now successfully operates two outlets in Phaltan, with demand continuing to grow.
From a Small Room to Significant Assets
What started from a 10×12-foot rented room has today grown into a business and residential property spanning nearly 4,000 square metres. The Kashid family has also started a mini-market, and the younger generation is now pursuing education at reputed colleges.
The brand’s biggest strength lies in its traditional taste, uncompromising quality, and personal involvement of every family member. This commitment is reflected in the fact that the business has maintained a clean reputation with virtually no major customer complaints over the years.
Loved Across Maharashtra
Today, customers visit Kashid Bandhu Samosewale from across Maharashtra. Many patrons even suggest opening branches in their own cities, a true testament to the brand’s credibility and loyal customer base.
Vision for the Future
Umesh Manohar Kashid and the Kashid family aspire to expand their presence not only across Maharashtra but also at the national and international level. Their goal is to create more employment opportunities through their outlets and establish Kashid Bandhu Samosewale as a strong, enduring brand—like a banyan tree offering shade to many.
A samosa that once sold for 50 paise is today priced at ₹18—yet it is purchased with the same enthusiasm. That enduring demand stands as the strongest proof of their hard-earned success.
