Sikandar Sultan is a Pakistani entrepreneur and philanthropist who is the founder and now Chairman of Shan Food Industries. He is a renowned and influential businessman in the Pakistani food industry. In 1981, Sultan was the first person to recognize and take advantage of the potential of launching an independent company that produced hygienic, first-rate packaged recipe mixes and plain spices. During this period, he took the traditional Pakistani national heritage of spice mixes and developed it into a food enterprise.
After relentless hard work, he paved the company's way to success. The company flourished and now stands as one of the leading spice companies in Pakistan. Shan Foods Company distributes a range of food items in 60 countries across the globe. The company has manufacturing plants in three locations including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and UAE and also has distribution centers in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Sultan additionally acquired Raani Foods, a UK-based brand and continues to enter new markets under the Shan Foods umbrella.
Sikandar Sultan found a gap in the food industry of Pakistan, where ready-made spice mixes were unheard of and selling loose unhygienic spices were the norm in the stores. He decided to take Pakistan’s cultural heritage of spice mixes to create Shan Foods. From thereon, he led Shan Foods to become the second largest packaged spice mixes and packaged food products company of Pakistan ranked only behind National Foods Limited. Shan Foods is a packaged spice mix company selling products across 5 continents and manufacturing plants in three countries. The company produces around two hundred different products including recipe mixes, plain spices, condiments, salts, traditional and Delves desserts. Sultan continues to develop a wide range of Shan Foods products by entering new markets and launching new products every year. As of 2015, over a 100 products were being exported to 60 countries and the annual revenues exceeded Rs 1.5 billion, with the company earning approximately 50 percent of market share in Pakistan.
