About us
our history
The Extra Khoya that Started it All
One ordinary day in the late eighties, Mr. Arvind Joshi brought a large amount of Khoya home. His wife, Mrs. Madhuri Joshi (nee Parchure) hailed from a Hubli-based family that engaged in selling homemade sweets like Pedha, Basundi, Shrikhand as well as Chivda. Hence, she was a seasoned home chef.
On finding this large amount of Khoya, she felt the strong urge to utilize it. She made the local favorite in her home state, the ‘Dharwadi Pedha’. Then it became a favorite delicacy among the ones she offered it to. Such a response boosted our morals. We decided to sell them on a large scale.
Since we had little knowledge of the market in Pune, Mr. Arvind Joshi and a few loved ones decided to put our Dharwadi Pedhas on sale in various renowned shops across the city. As Punekars welcomed us with open arms and increasing demand, we felt the need to sell our product under our banner. During the days when we supplied the Dharwadi Pedha to various established outlets, we made around 100 kgs of Dharwadi Pedhas in a year.
The First Shop
In 1992, Arvind Joshi decided to open a shop. After making preparations and other arrangements, we could secure a 4*4 roadside stall near Alankar Police Chowki in the neighborhood of Kothrud, Pune. From 1992 to 1996, we served thousands of customers from that tiny stall. We included more dishes in our menu. One thing we never compromised was our quality. Our commitment to quality and drive to serve the best helped us grow in a trusted and loved brand during those four years.
Expansion & Building of the Unique Identity
It was time to expand our horizons and tread new paths. Mr. Arvind Joshi roped in Mr. Milind Parchure, his brother-in-law to assist him in the expansion and it was truly a watershed moment of transformation. Mr. Milind Parchure, not only became part of the business but shouldered great responsibilities.
Their consistent and continued efforts led to the opening of their first shop at Bharatkunj Society, Erandawane. From that day onwards, for over 25 years, Joshi Sweets has never looked back and has established itself as a trusted brand.

Objectives, Vision and Values
Our Commitment to Quality
The usage of top-quality raw materials in the food industry makes all the difference. At Joshi Sweets, we have made it our priority since day one. We focused on using only the best quality Milk and Khoya in our products. We took great measures to produce the same. We have milch animals and we manufacture Milk and Khoya under great supervision and extreme care and safety.
With changing times and increasing demands, we took the next step embracing all the necessary technology for the same. It was crucial for the maintenance of quality and culinary hygiene.
Our Vision
Our society is becoming more and more multicultural every day with the boundaries between regions and cultures being blurrier each passing day. To fulfil the demands of this changing customer base, we have accommodated various delights from other regions in our menu. We envision being a brand that is able to encompass all the demands of changing times and to keep serving the best quality products made from the best quality in-house raw materials.

Our Mission
In the last 25-odd years, we have observed that people love authentic Maharashtrian and Indian Sweets. It had been a great uniting force between generations and cultures. It is our mission to put authentic Maharashtrian Sweets, Namkeens, and other delights on a global map. Our delights should be revered as much as Western dishes. The attention and appreciation are long-due and we will keep putting efforts towards our goal.
Our Values
Passion: We are extremely passionate about everything we do. We believe in efforts and not making easy money at the expense of our loyal customers. We are always focused on the changing landscapes of the market. We decided to embrace the technology when it was clear that it would complement our passion to serve the best products. Our passion is what keeps us going.
Quality
We believe that consistency in quality and service keeps you ahead of the competition. Over the years, we have always been asked to adopt the franchise model but we refuse since we believe in matching the safety standards and quality standards for each and every customer that walks into our shops.
Integrity & Accountability
We are aware that it is our responsibility to put ethical practices in place in whatever we do. It is our duty to make sure we cause no harm to the people or the planet. It is the only way to gain the trust of our customers. Be it our support staff, or anyone in the Joshi Sweets’ extended family of workers, we always make sure the needs and demands of our customers are met and a visit to our shop should be a pleasant and welcoming experience.
Labour Management
A brand’s accountability is often tested with regard to how it manages the support staff; be it the laborer’s or the suppliers. At Joshi Sweets, we take care of our labourers and suppliers in great measure. We understand that the accommodation, medical expenses, hygiene, and safety of our labourers are our responsibility and we never compromise on any of the above.
