Born in Sialkot, present-day, Pakistan, in 1923, Mahashayji migrated to India, during the partition. He joined his father, Mahashay Chunni Lal Gulati at an early age and took care of the spice business. It goes without a doubt, that Dalaji revamped the business, which started from a small shop in Delhi’s Karol Bagh. His company exports Indian spices to various parts of the world, including the UK, Europe, UAE, Canada, etc. In 2019, Mahashayji was honoured with Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in the country.
