From One Small Idea to India’s Most Trusted Dates Brand
For over four decades, Lion has been part of everyday Indian homes — bringing naturally wholesome foods, trusted quality, and meaningful nourishment to generations of families.
The Beginning
The Beginning
Founded in 1978 by Mr. P. Ponnudurai in Tiruchirappalli, Lion began with a simple but powerful vision — to bring cleaner, better-quality dates to Indian families.
At a time when dates were sold loosely with little attention to hygiene or quality, he believed consumers deserved something better.
What started as a modest initiative soon transformed into a pioneering movement in the Indian dates industry.
Redefining Everyday Wellness

Over the years, Lion continuously redefined how dates were processed, packed, and enjoyed in India.
