Behind every successful family business is a story of trust, sacrifice, and shared dreams. For Vinod Mittal and his sons, Nikhil and Nittin, Nik Baker’s is far more than a popular food brand—it is a reflection of their family values, resilience, and passion. While Vinod Mittal laid the foundation with his entrepreneurial vision and commitment to excellence, the next generation has played a key role in shaping the brand’s growth. Nittin Mittal, with his creative outlook and keen understanding of consumer preferences, has been instrumental in driving the brand’s evolution, while Nikhil Mittal’s innovative mind-set and enthusiasm have helped bring fresh ideas and energy to the business.
What is the earliest memory of Nik Baker’s as a family dream?
Nikhil Mittal: One of our fondest memories is working together at our first outlet in Sector 9, Chandigarh. It wasn’t just about starting a business; it was about building a dream as a family.
Nittin Mittal: I still remember how focused we were on creating products people would genuinely love. One memory that stands out is writing “Sold Out” on a chart paper at the end of the day and proudly displaying it. That feeling of seeing customers appreciate our products was unforgettable.
Mr. Mittal, what did you first see in Nikhil’s passion for baking?
Vinod Mittal: Nikhil was always curious about food and baking. Even as a child, he was eager to learn and experiment. Around the time when he was ten, I began dreaming of creating something where his passion could flourish. His dedication gave me confidence that he would one day take the vision forward.
Nikhil, what is the biggest lesson your father gave you?
Nikhil Mittal: The biggest lesson is to never fear failure. My father had to restart everything from scratch in 2002, yet he never lost hope. Despite difficult times, he ensured I could study in Australia. His resilience, sacrifices, and courage continue to guide me in both life and business.
