KRBL, a global name in the food industry and owner of the premium Basmati rice brand India Gate, has been conferred with two honors at the Global Brand & Leadership Conclave 2026, held on 5 June 2026 at the House of Lords, British Parliament, London.
Representing KRBL was Akshay Gupta, head – bulk exports, who received the awards on behalf of the company. KRBL was recognized with the Global Leading Brand Award, honoring its outstanding market presence and leadership, as well as the Global Iconic Brand Award, conferred upon its flagship brand, India Gate.
Speaking on the occasion, Gupta said, “We are honored to receive the awards for India Gate here at the House of Lords in London. These awards represent much more than business success. They reflect the trust of millions of consumers, the dedication of our employees, and the hard work of thousands of farmers who form the foundation of our business. For more than 135 years, KRBL has remained committed to quality, authenticity, and innovation.
“Today, as we continue expanding our presence across global markets, our focus remains on building stronger brands, creating value-added food products, and taking India’s rich food heritage to consumers around the world. We see this recognition as both a milestone and a responsibility to continue setting new benchmarks for global brand excellence.”
The double recognition underscores KRBL’s remarkable journey from a heritage-led Indian family business to a globally respected food enterprise, with a presence spanning over 90 countries. The awards stand as a testament to the company’s long-standing commitment to quality, authenticity, innovation, and operational excellence- values that have guided KRBL since its inception.
The Global Iconic Brand Award conferred upon India Gate is a particular point of pride, reflecting the strength of the brand’s emotional connect with consumers across generations and geographies. From households across India to kitchens around the world, India Gate has come to symbolise trust, purity, and the authentic taste of Basmati rice.
