On its Instagram handle, the bakery wrote, “We are proudly Indian. Karachi Bakery is a 100% Indian brand, founded in Hyderabad, India, in 1953. Our name is a part of our history, not our nationality. Please support us for who we are—an Indian brand serving India with love.”
Speaking to PTI, the bakery’s owners, Rajesh and Harish Ramnani, clarified that Karachi Bakery’s name is rooted not in ideology but in the Partition-era legacy.
“Our grandfather, Khanchand Ramnani, who migrated to India (from Pakistan) during Partition, named the bakery after his hometown. We are proud Indians. We’ve been baking in this country since 1953,” they said.
