Sukhjit was born in the year 1943, two discerning young entrepreneurs having spotted the immense potential of the wonder grain "MAIZE", decided to set up a Corn Wet Milling Facility. After due diligence, they chose to set up the plant in a small town-ship called Phagwara in the state of "Punjab & East Punjab Union" also known as the Granary of India. Thus giving Birth to "The Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd."
