Back in the 1980s, Late Kishan Rao Myadam came across the vermicelli processing technology at a fair in Germany and decided to bring home this novel invention. This trip proved to be a turning point for the birth of Bambino Agro – the brand which became synonymous with vermicelli and pasta products. Today, the company has become a global brand with an array of food products in its kitty.
When it comes to cooking there is a hidden chef in all of us. And one product that has become staple in households and can be cooked in no time by amateurs and experts alike is vermicelli. But what has made this thin noodle-like product so popular across the country is one brand – Bambino Agro. So much so, that people often use Bambino as a synonym for vermicelli!
The making of India’s “Vermicelli Man”
Back in the 1980s, Late Kishan Rao Myadam visited a technology fair in Germany and came across the vermicelli processing technology. He decided to bring in the product and its processing technology to India. After importing German machineries to India, Kishan Rao began worked towards creating a healthy life style food. He took the product door to door and often tested the taste and quality of the product by himself. He is rightfully so known as India’s “Vermicelli Man”. He is credited with taking vermicelli to every middle-income household and making it a part of our staple diet.
Over the years the brand has become a household name, mainly because of the quality that it offers to the customers. Bambino’s vermicelli and its pasta range is made from 100% durum wheat with no added flour.
