At WIT, our workers are committed to producing premium quality products and the food production department is no exception.
This department was started in Bombay in a very small way in Kamila Tyabji's kitchen. Gradually, the demand for the jams grew ; the number of workers employed also grew and it was moved to Panvel when the WIT centre was opened in 1983. The recipes used are still the original ones devised by the founder.
The food production section at Panvel is a professional unit run by a supervisor who trains her full time permanent staff on the premises.
