Business in Bikaner
Bhujia, papad and other namkeen made in Bikaner reach shops across India, and the snack trade supports hundreds of small manufacturers alongside a few large brands. The city is also a major market for raw wool and woollen yarn, the district mines gypsum, clay and lignite, and large solar parks have come up across the surrounding desert.
Where software helps: Namkeen makers here run high-volume batches with short shelf lives, so they need batch-wise costing, FSSAI-compliant labelling, distributor schemes and tracking of expired returns across many states.
