A trader's journey — the ports where Hemu Exports began, 1971

Since 1971

A business built on 110 days of open doors.

In 1971, Narendra Kantilal Shah left Mumbai with his savings and pure ambition — a solo trading journey across East Africa, the Gulf and Europe that lasted over 110 days. He stood outside shops for hours just to get a meeting.

Today his son and grandsons carry the same principle into every shipment: trust and quality are never negotiable.

Our Story

The Hemu Exports difference

We know the trade from source to shelf.

— 01

Knowledge

A vendor network across India and hands-on ground research. We know which grade to recommend, when to stock for the season, and when crop shortages will move prices — before they reach the market.

— 02

Trust

Suppliers to the most recognised names in UK Indian food distribution for decades. Relationships here are measured in generations, not purchase orders.

— 03

Quality

Every consignment checked before shipment. APEDA, FSSAI and Spices Board certified, lab tested, BRCGS compliant — and held to a family standard older than any certificate.
