From a traditional chakki in Indore to a modern spice business serving home, trade and institutional buyers.

1969 - The beginning

Neelam Agmark Masala began in Indore on 14 January 1969. The early business was built around straightforward spice processing, dependable taste and close relationships with local customers.

The early years

The journey began with traditional grinding methods, including salt ground on a chakki. As demand grew, the range expanded beyond essential spices into blends and speciality products for everyday Indian cooking.

Growing with the Indian kitchen

Over time, Neelam developed a broader portfolio spanning chilli, turmeric, coriander, whole spices, blended masalas, hing, kasoori methi, Jeeravan and other kitchen favourites. The focus remained practical: familiar flavour, accessible pack sizes and dependable supply.

Modern manufacturing

Today, the business operates from Udyog Nagar, Indore with automated grinding and packing capabilities. Modern processing has changed the scale of the operation, while the brand continues to build on the taste expectations developed over decades.

Neelam today

The current portfolio includes more than 40 spice varieties across ground spices, blends, whole spices, speciality products, seasonings and curated combinations. Neelam serves consumers through ecommerce while also supporting distribution, HoReCa, bulk, private-label and international enquiries.

Swaad Wahi Jo Aap Chahe.

That belief continues to connect Neelam's heritage with the kitchens it serves today.
