Our Royal Journey

Royal Kesari is a heritage-driven paan brand that combines time-tested recipes with a scalable, modern business model. Built on a foundation of quality ingredients and operational discipline, we deliver consistent taste, strong customer recall, and predictable unit-level economics across locations.

Originating from a humble paan stall in Pune, Royal Kesari has scaled by preserving traditional preparation methods while professionalizing processes for consistency and growth. Our menu leverages proprietary recipes developed and refined by the founding family to create a distinct product offering.
