- DatGud offers a range of biscuits in various flavors like smokey barbeque, smokey lamb, chicken and egg.
With over 30 years of experience Growel Group said its entry into the pet food market is a significant milestone. With an annual revenue exceeding ₹2000 crores (US$267 million), Growel Group has developed an extensive distribution network, reaching over 173 districts across 26 states in India, and exports its products to 20 countries, enhancing its global presence.
