Mr. Darshan Gangurde, Founder of Datta Krupa Bhel Bhatta, received recognition for Traditional Tastes and Brand at the Maharashtra Excellence Awards and Conclave 2026. The event was held on August 22, 2026, at Sayaji Hotel, Wakad, Pune, and was organized by Insights Success and powered by Insights Excellence Awards. Marathi actress Nivedita Saraf attended as Chief Guest. The award recognizes Gangurde’s work in building Datta Krupa Bhel Bhatta as a name rooted in traditional flavors from Nashik.
Datta Krupa Bhel Bhatta, under Gangurde’s leadership, has focused on keeping traditional bhel bhatta recipes alive, at a time when many food businesses are moving toward mass-produced, standardized snacks. His approach reflects an interest in holding onto local flavor and preparation methods, rather than compromising taste for the sake of scale. Chief Guest Nivedita Saraf, known for her long career in Marathi cinema and theater, was present at the event, and her attendance added a festive touch to a ceremony centered on entrepreneurial and traditional achievement.
Running a business built around a traditional snack means staying true to recipes that customers already associate with a certain taste and quality, and Gangurde’s work at Datta Krupa Bhel Bhatta reflects this balance between preserving that authenticity and building a brand people recognize and return to.
As Founder, Gangurde has taken on the task of turning a traditional product into a recognizable brand, a challenge that often requires more than just good taste, but also consistency and the right kind of visibility in a crowded local food market. His continued involvement in the business suggests a hands-on approach, one where the founder stays closely tied to both the product and the brand it represents.
The recognition for Traditional Tastes and Brand adds to what Gangurde has built with Datta Krupa Bhel Bhatta so far. It reflects the effort put into keeping a traditional snack relevant while building a name that stands out in Nashik’s local food scene.
