Hoshiarpur people · Business & industry

Hoshiarpur is known for agriculture and education, but its industrial identity also
reaches international markets. Sonalika’s manufacturing presence provides an important
example. These profiles examine three members of the Mittal family associated with
the company’s development. Their connection here is through business leadership 
and the city’s industrial ecosystem; this article does not rank personal wealth.

forms part of the city’s contemporary industrial story. Details of company scale
