Harish Tahiliani helped turn a small Indian spices and pulses trading firm in Sharjah into one of the largest food sourcing and processing firms in the GCC, working hand-in-hand with farmers in Canada, Australia, China and Africa.
The company was set up in 1986 by Tahiliani and his father, Kumar Tahiliani, who inspired the businessman to go into food processing. Tahiliani senior is the owner of Asian Food Industries, one of the most prominent food processing firms in India. In mid-2016, Arab & India Spices announced the launch of a new production facility in Ajman, a project in which it reportedly invested $95m and covers an area of over 400,000 sq ft. The firm is estimated to be turning over $272m a year.
