Dharampal Gulati started his business with a shop and started selling spices, just like his father. He then went on to open another shop at Ajmal Khan Road, Karol Bagh. People who know him for the earliest years, say that this is when and where he expanded his business from. It was in the year 1959, that he opened a spice factory of his own, that changed his fortune. He is not only a rich and famous businessman, but someone who is famous for his TV ads and life-style.
