OUR FAMILY GALLERY
The Founders, Custodians & Master Artisans Behind 70 Years of Bakes
In August 1955, three brothers — Khodayar, Hormazdiar, and Rustom Kayani — established Kayani Bakery in Pune Camp. Today, three generations later, the descendants continue to bake with the same firewood ovens, the same passion, and the same unyielding standard of purity.
