Our Story

A Legacy Built on
Trust & Scale.

Founded by Akhil Kakkar in New Delhi over four decades ago, The Distributors began as a regional distribution partnership with Hamdard Laboratories — one of India's most iconic F&B brands. That single relationship grew into a full-scale supply chain operation serving India's most recognized consumer brands.

Today, under the second-generation leadership of Anshul Kakkar, we manage end-to-end F&B supply chain operations — from manufacturer onboarding and logistics coordination to wholesale distribution, retail placement, and market expansion across India and internationally.

We have worked with multinationals, homegrown giants, and emerging startups alike — helping each navigate the complexity of Indian F&B distribution and scale with confidence.
