Late Mr. Dashrath Baburao Ursal was the founder of M/s D.B Ursal & Sons operating in Pune city, Maharashtra State, India.

Mr. Dashrathrao Ursal braving all odds left his native village of Singhapur, in Purander Taluka, and came to Pune city along with his Mother.
When he came to Pune to earn a livelihood, he started selling fruits by roaming around at several places with the fruit basket on his head. It is truly said that, “As you sow, so shall you Reap”. Mr. Dashrathrao braving all odds stood up on his own feet and a street vendor became a Fruits Commission Agent in the prestigious Mahatma Phule Market of Pune. Dedication, hard work and path of truth have always been the words associated with D.B Ursal & Sons.

Half of the bread belongs to the farmer to gets his produce to your shop.’’ Such wise words truly define what commitment M/s D.B Ursal & Sons has towards the welfare of the farmers and the society.
