Meet Gautam Banka: The Visionary Behind FLY and Dadiji Snacks Private Limited (DSPL)

Gautam Banka, born and raised in Patna, is an entrepreneur driven by passion, innovation, and a deep commitment to his roots. As the founder of FLY, a cutting-edge luggage brand, Gautam extends his family’s business legacy into new dimensions. However, his impact doesn’t end there. Gautam is also the driving force behind Dadiji Snacks Private Limited (DSPL), a state-of-the-art contract manufacturing unit for Bikaji Foods, one of India’s leading snack manufacturers. With a keen eye for detail and excellence, DSPL has become a benchmark for food processing in Bihar, equipped with some of the most advanced technologies in the industry.

FLY: Redefining Luggage for Modern Travel

At its core, FLY represents Gautam’s vision for elevating travel gear to match the evolving needs of modern travelers. FLY is more than just a luggage brand—it’s a statement of quality, innovation, and style. Designed for durability and functionality, FLY’s product line offers solutions that cater to both the aesthetic and practical aspects of travel.

“Travel is no longer just about moving from one place to another. It’s about experiences, and FLY is designed to be a seamless part of that experience,” Gautam explains.

DSPL: A Game Changer in the Food Manufacturing Industry

In addition to FLY, Gautam Banka has ventured into the food industry by establishing Dadiji Snacks Private Limited (DSPL). Situated in Daniawan, 30 kilometers from Patna, DSPL is one of the most advanced food processing plants in Bihar. The plant specializes in producing premium namkeen and snacks for Bikaji Foods, leveraging the latest technology to ensure top-tier quality.

From the use of cutting-edge machinery like Contimix to employing advanced quality control processes, DSPL exemplifies Gautam’s dedication to setting new standards in the industry. The plant’s commitment to hygiene, precision, and taste ensures that every product meets the highest expectations.

“Our mission at DSPL is not just to manufacture snacks, but to elevate the quality of food processing in Bihar. We’re proud of our facility and the contribution it makes to the food industry in the region,” says Gautam.

Giving Credit Where It’s Due: A Family Legacy

While Gautam is the face of FLY and DSPL, he humbly credits much of his success to his father, Satish Banka, who serves as the Director of both ventures. Satish Banka’s timeless experience and wisdom have been instrumental in shaping Gautam’s journey as an entrepreneur.

“My father’s guidance has been the cornerstone of everything we’ve built,” Gautam shares. “His experience has helped me scale FLY, and now with DSPL, we’re embarking on a new mission to elevate Bihar’s food industry. Without his mentorship and unwavering support, none of this would have been possible.”

Educational Journey: Shaping the Visionary

Gautam’s entrepreneurial acumen is supported by a strong educational foundation. He completed his schooling at DPS Patna and The Heritage School Kolkata before pursuing a Bachelor of Business Management (BBM) from Jain University, Bangalore. To further sharpen his business skills, Gautam earned a Diploma in Global Family Managed Business (GFMB) from SP Jain School of Global Management.

This diverse academic background, coupled with his practical experience, has enabled Gautam to effectively navigate both the luggage and food manufacturing sectors, each requiring a distinct set of skills and vision.

The Vision: Transforming Eastern India’s Food Industry

Gautam’s vision for the future is ambitious yet grounded. He aims to make DSPL the largest co-packing manufacturer for the food industry in Eastern India. “The food industry has immense potential in this part of the country, and Bihar, with its strategic location, available manpower, and government support, offers the perfect environment to realize this vision,” he says.
