FLO Ahmedabad, under the leadership of Chairperson Usha Jaiswal, organised an exclusive Industrial Visit to the Vasant Masala manufacturing facility on 8th July 2026, under the Agro & Food vertical. The visit gave members an opportunity to experience one of India’s most advanced spice processing plants and to understand how modern food manufacturing works in practice.
Members witnessed the complete manufacturing journey, from raw material sourcing and processing through to packaging and dispatch. The plant demonstrated natural processing methods alongside state-of-the-art technology. Stringent hygiene standards were evident at every stage, and production was fully automated with minimal human intervention. Together, these ensure consistent quality and food safety.
The visit showed how innovation, automation, and operational excellence are transforming India’s food processing sector. Members saw how large-scale spice manufacturing is managed efficiently, with strong quality control systems that maintain product standards across high volumes. The event was hosted by Chandrakantji and the Vasant Masala team, whose warm hospitality and openness made the experience both informative and engaging.
Members had the chance to observe the operations closely and understand the thinking behind the plant’s design, processes, and quality practices. A total of 35 FLO members took part. For many of them, this was their first look inside an automated agro-processing facility, and it sparked useful conversations about efficiency, food safety and the scalability of manufacturing enterprises.
Beyond the learning, the visit encouraged knowledge sharing, industry exposure and professional networking among members. It reinforced FLO Ahmedabad’s commitment to giving its members experiential learning that goes beyond the boardroom. It also inspired participants to appreciate the role of innovation and technology in building globally competitive Indian food businesses, and showed how enterprises of any size can learn from operational excellence at scale.
