Our Story: From Street Stalls to Hawkers Brand
Welcome to Hawkers, where our roots in traditional street vending blend seamlessly with our vision for contemporary fast food. I am Gagan Sethi, founder and managing director of Hawkers, and this is our story of resilience and innovation.
Rooted in Heritage
Born into a family of street vendors in Talwandi Bhai, District Ferozepur, I grew up witnessing the struggles and the humble beginnings of our family business. My father and grandfather, devoted vendors of beloved street foods like tikki and dahi bhalla, instilled in me a profound respect for our craft. Despite their hard work, financial stability eluded us, and by 2014, the need to transform our circumstances became apparent.
A New Beginning
Determined to contribute, I launched my own stall in 2014, alongside my father and brother Ashmit. For four years, we served our traditional specialties, gradually incorporating market-driven offerings like pizza, burgers, and sandwiches, skills I honed in Moga. However, the vision didn’t stop there. In 2017, I proposed a bold step: to establish a brand that could take our family legacy to new heights. Despite initial reservations from my father, who cherished our small-scale operations, my persistence paid off. We were ready to dream bigger.
Launching Hawkers
Thus, Hawkers was born. A brand that started with an extensive menu featuring both vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, quickly gaining a reputation for premium quality. The response was overwhelming; customers appreciated our dedication to excellence and expressed an eagerness for more locations to enjoy our offerings.
Innovation and Quality
To maintain the integrity of our products amidst expansion, we established a central base kitchen in Talwandi Bhai. This facility not only ensures quality, accuracy, and consistency across all our items but also allows us to innovate while adhering to our unique business model—differentiating ourselves in a competitive market.
Looking Ahead
Today, as we plan to extend the Hawkers brand into a chain, our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction remains the cornerstone of our business philosophy. We invite you to join us on this journey of taste, tradition, and innovation.
