But can these family-owned businesses continue to ride the snack wave amid intense competition, the health wave, governance challenges, inflation and regulatory scrutiny on nutrition? Can the namkeen and mithai empires withstand the inevitable winds of change, also at a time when consolidation is sweeping every sector.
