Dharampal has studied till just 5th
Masala Emperor Mahashay Dharampal Galati is a popular name of the country today, but do you know he has studied only till 5th standard. Actually, Dharmapala, born in Sialkot (now in Pakistan) on 27 March 1923, was not much interested in education. He left school before the end of 5th grade. After this he started working together with his father. He traded soap, carpenter, cloth, hardware, rice. He later worked in his father’s shop named ‘Maheshiyan di Hatti’.

Tanga used to live
Monsieur Dharampal Gulati wanted to do something different from the beginning. Due to this, he came to Delhi. But the biggest challenge for him was to earn and live here. Since he had only 1500 rupees left from his father in his pocket. In such a situation, he bought a horse and a tanga for 650 rupees and started running at its railway station in Delhi. Through this, they used to live their livelihood in the initial phase.

Foundation laid by small kiosks
While living in Delhi and taking care of his own expenses, Dharampal used to run a tanga, but his heart did not support him for this work. Therefore, he gave the tanga to his brother and set up a small kiosk on the Ajmal Khan road of Karol Bagh itself. They used to sell spices in it. His identity came from Sialkot’s Dengi chilli. People loved the taste of it. Gradually, his business started running and by the late 60s, his business started as Mahashian Di Hatti, had become a famous spice shop in Delhi.

Family built a brand together
Dharmapala was joined by his family members to transform the shop located in Karol Bagh in Delhi into a larger platform. He invested a small capital and bought shops in different areas of Delhi. Also, in 1959, the Gulati family set up their first factory to manufacture spices in Delhi’s Kirti Nagar. From here, MDH became a well-known name of the spice industry.
