LEADERSHIP & LEGACY

Rooted in Experience.

Built for the World.

Behind Gurusharanam Agro Foods Pvt. Ltd. (GAF) is a family whose association with agriculture,
Grain and rice spans close to four decades.

Based in Taraori–Karnal, Haryana — at the heart of India’s Basmati rice ecosystem —
GAF brings together two generations of enterprise: decades of hands-on understanding of
agriculture, grain, rice milling and international trade, strengthened by a new generation’s
Experience in entrepreneurship, technology, quality systems, brand building and global business.

The vision is clear: to build GAF into a modern, professionally managed and globally respected
Indian rice enterprise, while preserving the accountability, relationships and personal commitment of a family-led business.
Heritage gives us our foundation.
Enterprise gives us our momentum.
The world is our marketplace.

Mr. Gian Sagar Sardana

Agriculturist • Rice Industry Veteran • Entrepreneur

Mr. Gian Sagar Sardana brings nearly four decades of experience across agriculture, grain and rice. An NDRI Karnal alumnus, he began his career with VITA, Government of Haryana, in a senior managerial role before taking voluntary retirement to pursue the family’s entrepreneurial path.

As an active farmer, he stays closely connected to cultivation, giving him practical insight into crop quality and the evolving needs of conventional, pesticide-free and organic supply chains. His years as a grain merchant deepened his grasp of procurement, seasonality, quality assessment and market dynamics—experience that evolved into rice milling, processing and exports, backed by continuous investment in technology. Travels across the US and other markets gave him first-hand understanding of overseas customer expectations for Indian exporters.

Under his guidance, GAF grew from its Taraori–Karnal roots into a global enterprise spanning sourcing, milling, processing and export, with the US as a key market. He continues to mentor GAF on its core principles:
Know Your Product. Honour Your Commitment. Protect Your Reputation.

Mr. Mohit Sardana

Entrepreneur • Managing Stewardship • International Outlook

For Mr. Mohit Sardana, rice carries an emotional connection beyond business — it is where the family’s entrepreneurial journey began. An accomplished entrepreneur, he has built ventures across manufacturing, technology, quality systems and international business, and is Founder & MD of ASLI AYURVEDA Wellness Pvt. Ltd. His achievements have earned industry recognition and media coverage, including India Today, and he has served as National Chairman of FICCI’s Direct Selling Committee.

At GAF, he brings this learning back to the family’s core business, blending traditional rice knowledge with modern processing, quality systems, branding, packaging innovation and global partnerships—moving GAF beyond a conventional mill or commodity exporter.

For Mohit, the goal isn’t just carrying forward a legacy, but building an institution capable of competing globally.

Two Generations. One GAF

Experience Meets Enterprise.

Agricultural Understanding + Modern Technology

Rice Expertise + International Perspective

Relationships + Professional Systems

Family Accountability + Institutional Capability

Heritage + Global Ambition

One generation brings the wisdom of having lived the rice ecosystem for decades.
The next brings the experience of building businesses and the ambition to modernize, professionalize, add value and take that legacy further into the world.

HERITAGE IS MORE THAN THE HERITAGE OF BASMATI.

For GAF, heritage begins with Taraori–Karnal — its land, its farmers, its grain markets and generations of
knowledge surrounding one of India’s most celebrated Basmati-producing regions.But heritage also means
something deeper. It is a heritage of enterprise, responsibility, relationships and trust. Technology will evolve.
Markets will change. Customer expectations will rise. And GAF intends to evolve with the

Quality before expediency.
Relationships before transactions.
Commitments made carefully — and honoured completely.
Reputation built over generations — and protected with every shipment.

FROM A FAMILY ENTERPRISE TO A GLOBAL FOOD COMPANY.

We know where we come from.
We understand the grain.
We understand the business.

And we understand the responsibility that comes when an international customer places their product, money, market — and sometimes their own brand — in our hands.

Our ambition is to bring these strengths together and build Gurusharanam Agro Foods into a globally respected Indian rice enterprise — rooted in authentic origin, distinguished by quality, driven by value addition and trusted for the relationships it builds.
