Source-derived summary

Rajesh Masala or Rajesh Spices is an Indian manufacturer, distributor and supplier of ground spices. The company is led by its directors, Rajesh Agrahari and Chandrama Devi Agrahari.

History

The company was founded in 1997 by the late industrialist R. R. Agrahari under the company banner of Agrahari Masala Udyog, in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh state, India.

Rajesh Masala Private Limited was incorporated as a private company on 13 February 2004.

Other

Its director Rajesh Agrahari is also called as "Rajesh Masala" due to his brand of spice. He has been a party leader in the Samajwadi Party before his expulsion. He was expelled from the party by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in July 2014 due to his involvement in what the party regarded as "anti-party activities". Thereafter, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Rajesh Masala” as indian Masala Brand. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1997, 2004, 2014—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1997. The account is most persuasive where Rajesh, Masala and Indian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as indian Masala Brand. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7286071. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2004 and 2014.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
