If you have the courage to keep trying after failures and the passion to reach your goal, you can even build a business from nothing. A young girl who came to India from Pakistan after Partition proved this true. With just Rs. 300 as investment, she went on to create a company worth Rs. 8,000 crore. Her life was never easy. She had to leave her homeland, settle in a new country, and was married at the age of 17. Soon, she became a mother of three and had the full responsibility of running a household. Yet, her desire to do something meaningful never let her rest. Between family duties and raising children, she started something small in her own courtyard that later made her famous worldwide.
That small beginning grew into a company worth thousands of crores. This is the inspiring story of Rajni Bector, the founder of Mrs. Bector's Food Specialities and Mrs. Bector's Cremica. Today, most of us have tasted her company's products, bread, biscuits, sauces, mayonnaise, creams, and even ice creams. Cremica biscuits and English Oven breads are now found in almost every bakery and grocery shop across the country.
Rajni Bector's early life
Rajni Bector was born in Karachi, Pakistan, but after Partition, she moved to India with her family. Bector went to Miranda House and completed her graduation post her marriage in 1957. At the age of 17, she was married into a business family in Ludhiana. She later had three children. When her kids went away to boarding school, Rajni decided to start something of her own. She first took a baking course and then began making bread and biscuits right in her backyard.
Who is India's ice-cream lady?
Known today as India's Ice Cream Lady, Rajni Bector started with a small oven, baking biscuits, breads, buns, and cookies. People loved the taste of her products. With just Rs. 300 as investment, she quickly built a small bakery brand. The demand grew so fast that she couldn't keep up with supply.
In 1978, Mrs. Bector received an initial investment of Rs. 20,000 from her husband, Dharamvir Bector. With this capital, she established a modest ice cream manufacturing unit in her backyard, and this was how Cremica was born. Cremica, which translates to 'made of cream.' Over time, her bakery and ice cream products extended their reach beyond Ludhiana, reaching the markets in Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana.
By 1985, Mrs. Bector had dived into bread production, setting up a unit in Punjab that produced approximately 5,000 loaves daily. This number grew substantially to 50,000 loaves per day by 1989.
But the real breakthrough was in the 1990s, when Cremica forayed into buns, biscuits and sauces. In 1995, Mrs. Bector secured a significant contract to supply burger buns to McDonald's, a partnership that represented a major milestone in her entrepreneurial journey.
How big is Cremica today?
After McDonald's, Cremica began supplying to Burger King, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and even Indian Railways. Today, the company's products are available in more than 5.5 lakh outlets across 23 states. Its bread brand, English Oven, has become one of the leading premium bakery names in India.
In 2020, Cremica was listed on the stock exchange. Today, the company's market cap is over Rs. 8,339 crore, and it has earned a strong reputation with a 4 out of 5 rating on Finology.
