About Us

Founded in 2006, Global Flavours and Ingredients Private Limited (GFIPL) is a prominent flagship entity of the Acid India Group. Established under the visionary leadership of the late Shri Kamal D. Asher and late Dr.Arulswamy, the company has successfully established itself as a leading player in the food industry. The inception of GFIPL was driven by the encouragement and recommendation of our principal partner, Danisco, who recognized our strong performance in South India and urged us to expand our operations into Maharashtra and Gujarat to represent their products.
Over the past two decades, GFIPL has grown into a dynamic organization with a significant presence in both established and emerging markets across India. Under the leadership of Shri Nitin J Asher, who played a pivotal role in the company’s expansion into Maharashtra and Gujarat during its early years, GFIPL has cemented its position as a leading supplier in the food ingredients sector. Shri Nitin J Asher currently serves as the chairman of the company, while his brother, Shri Amrish J Asher, the Managing Director, has been instrumental in propelling the company’s growth. Shri Amrish J Asher spearheaded the strategic expansion into new markets, which led to exponential growth in turnover through collaborations with leading multinational corporations and the creation of new product segments.

From its humble beginnings as a proprietary firm, GFIPL has transformed into a trailblazing organization specializing in business development, channel sales, and value-added selling of a wide range of flavours and food ingredients across India. The company has forged strong, long-term relationships with global brands, becoming a trusted partner in representing leading international companies such as International Flavours & Fragrances (IFF), Neogen, and Givaudan, among others.

Headquartered in Chennai, GFIPL operates with multiple branch offices and state-of-the-art warehouses in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, as well as extended operations in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and New Delhi. The company is supported by a dedicated and skilled workforce committed to implementing result-oriented strategies to drive growth and business development.
With extensive experience in the food industry, GFIPL has consistently contributed to various industrial segments, including dairy, bakery, beverages, confectionery, nutritional supplements, convenience foods (RTC & RTE), plant-based meat alternatives, pharmaceuticals and animal feed sectors respectively. The company’s team of highly qualified professionals works closely with customers to understand their evolving needs, providing tailored solutions with support from our esteemed principals to address challenges and deliver exceptional value.
In summary, GFIPL is not just a supplier; it is a reliable, long-term partner committed to fostering lasting relationships with its customers, driven by a philosophy of providing unwavering support and solutions to meet their unique demands.

On behalf of the Acid India Group, it is both an honour and a privilege to communicate with you through the platform of Global Flavours and Ingredients Private Limited (GFIPL).

A quote that continuously motivates and inspires me is: “When I Lost My Excuses, I Found My Results.”

As a leading trading house specializing in a comprehensive range of flavours and food ingredients, GFIPL has navigated numerous challenges, adapting to the rapidly evolving global landscape. The year 2020-2021, marked by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, served as a defining period for us, strengthening our resolve as individuals and as an organization.

We have always prioritized the interests of our customers, striving to ensure their satisfaction, even in the face of adversity.

The emergence of new market trends, particularly those driven by digitalization and shifting consumer preferences, has been a key driver of our growth and transformation. In response, we have strategically evaluated our product offerings and forged partnerships with leading multinational companies to bring world-class products to Indian customers, ensuring both quality and timely delivery. Today, GFIPL serves over 10 industrial segments, with a diverse portfolio of more than 300 individual products across 20+ categories. With five operational hubs across Western India, we are well-positioned to pursue our vision: “To become the preferred global conglomerate, offering unique and value-added solutions to all industries and mankind to their delight.”

Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our footprint, with plans to explore opportunities in the manufacturing sector while continuing to leverage our trading expertise to meet evolving customer needs.
