The legacy of M/s. Sita Ram Bal Krishan traces back to the early 20th century, rooted in values of hard work, integrity, and strong ties to the agricultural community.

Founding Years: A Vision Rooted in Soil

Shri Bal Krishan Tayal, born in 1929 into a humble farming family, inherited a deep respect for agriculture and rural values from an early age. He began his professional journey as a government school teacher, earning recognition for his discipline, dedication, and service to his students and community.

While serving as a teacher, he remained actively involved in his father’s business as a Commission Agent (Kaccha Arthia) in the Old Grain Market of Moga. Balancing both responsibilities with great commitment, he gained hands-on experience and developed a strong understanding of grain trading practices. In 1979, he chose to take early retirement to fully dedicate himself to the family trade, officially joining the business in 1980 under the name M/s. Sita Ram Bal Krishan.

Carrying forward his father’s legacy with integrity and vision, Shri Bal Krishan Tayal earned a reputation as a trusted and principled commission agent. His transparent dealings, honest approach, and deep knowledge of the market helped the business thrive and strengthened its relationships with farmers and buyers alike.

His leadership extended beyond commerce into community representation. In recognition of his dedication and integrity, he was elected General Secretary of the Arthia Association, Moga, where he served from 1992 to 2009. During his tenure, he actively championed the rights and welfare of fellow commission agents and worked to foster unity and progress within the trading community.

Today, Shri Bal Krishan Tayal’s legacy is carried forward with pride by his son and grandson. His life remains a symbol of commitment, humility, and service, shaping the values that define M/s. Sita Ram Bal Krishan to this day.

New Energy, New Horizons

In 1985, his son Shri Deepak Tayal joined the business, bringing fresh perspective and energy to the traditional grain trade. Under his leadership, the firm expanded significantly and modernized operations to meet growing market demands.

In 2018, Shri. Deepak Tayal introduced Pakka Arthia, broadening the scope of the business to trade in a wider variety of grains, including wheat, paddy (basmati), maize, moong, and mustard seeds (sarson). His strong vision led to a key partnership with KRBL (India Gate Basmati Rice) as a new paddy handling agent in 2021, marking a new chapter of growth.

Beyond business, Shri Deepak Tayal is also deeply involved in community service and social welfare. A socially active individual, he has served as the head of several non-governmental organizations, including Lions Club International, and remains closely associated with Arya Samaj, where he holds leadership roles in managing educational institutions under its umbrella.

He also continued the legacy of leadership, serving as General Secretary of the Arthia Association, Moga (2009–2023) and currently as Secretary of the Federation of Arthia Association, Punjab (2022–Present).

Third Generation Leadership

In 2017, the third generation of the family entered the business with the induction of Shubham Tayal, son of Shri Deepak Tayal. With a forward-looking mindset and a solid educational foundation, Shubham brought a modern and strategic approach to grain trading. While pursuing his MBA in Marketing and Human Resources, he simultaneously immersed himself in business operations, gaining practical experience from an early stage. As part of his academic journey, he also completed a management internship with Nestlé India Limited,where he developed insights into professional work culture.

Upon joining the family firm full-time, Shubham focused on expanding procurement operations and building new industry partnerships. Leveraging his education and business acumen, he strengthened the company’s footprint by initiating ties with multiple agro-industries, especially for the procurement of moong, paddy (basmati), and other high-demand grains.

Shubham represents the firm’s next-generation leadership. His contribution continues to drive the business toward greater efficiency, broader market reach, and stronger relationships across the agricultural value chain.
