History:
Mapro (Mahabaleshwar Products) began as a small venture in the late 1970s by Mr. Kishore Vora, with the aim of processing locally grown strawberries. Initially, the focus was on creating jams and other strawberry-based products to support the local farmers and reduce wastage. Over the years, Mapro expanded its product range and established the Mapro Garden as a way to showcase its offerings and provide a tourist experience. The garden evolved from a simple processing unit to a sprawling complex featuring food production, retail outlets, restaurants, and recreational areas. It has become a significant contributor to the region's economy and a symbol of successful entrepreneurship.
