Cart About Us
We are passionate about our
concept and branding business, providing quality products with high standards. It
all started when Karnataka government announced the tourism logo of Bengaluru
city in 2017. We saw this as a great opportunity to highlight city past,
present and future through our products. We have years of affiliation to Cloth business
and Printing industry, which provided us much needed head start….. Let me tell
you a story !!!
We are basically from North
Karnataka; our friends still call us Hubballi hudugaru (kids from Hubbali).
Father side is from Hubbali and mother side is from Rabakavi (district Bagalkot),
both family roots have affiliation with agriculture, cloth and garments
business.
Our great grandfather (father
side) 90 years ago, was the first person in the family to venture into business.
He chose cloth business. He used to carry big basket with cloth on his shoulder
walk from one village to next selling those in weekly local market (Called
village santhe). Later he started his first store in Hubbali.
Our grandfather who continued
family cloth business, left it to his younger brothers, shifted to Bengaluru
and started a wholesale pharmaceutical business in the name of Karnataka Pharma
Distributors in 1957.
Later his kids which is my father and his brothers joined
family Pharmaceutical distribution business. My father being a mechanical
engineer was looking to diversify into industry, started flexible packaging
industry in Bangalore (1986) called Strip-Well
Rotopacks, which also includes specialized bulk printing.
We are the 4th
generation, born and brought up in Bengaluru…. joined our father printing &
packaging industry in 1989, managing it as of now. As mentioned earlier, it all
started when Karnataka government announced the tourism logo of Bengaluru city
in 2017, which is first official tourism logo of a city in India. The core of the Bengaluru city logo
is ‘Be U’, taken from first 2
alphabets and last alphabet from Bengaluru. Which stands for ‘be you’ or ‘be yourself’.
Why ‘Be U’? Based upon the true spirit of the city; Bengaluru city is so diversified and cosmopolitan, not only people from with-in India, but people from throughout the world come and live here, Bengaluru city never tries to change them, or it does not try to mold a person according to itself - it allows them to be themselves, this is the core of Bengaluru city or true sprite of the city..... Hence ‘Be U’ or ‘Be Yourself’ in Bengaluru.
We thought this is a great opportunity to break the silo of famous city logos like - I love New York, I love Paris, I love Singapore, I love Dubai and others, by showcasing the Openness, History and facts about Bengaluru through our products. The outcome of this vision is the B&V Brands (2018)
