A Legacy Carried Forward
From a Refugee’s Legacy to a Global Brand in Fragrance and Personal Care
Grace Universal is the latest chapter in a story that began in 1942, when our grandfather, Sardar Joginder Singh Gandhi, registered the brand “Edna” in Lahore. After the Partition of India, he arrived in Bombay as a refugee with nothing but a name and a relentless drive to rebuild. That name, “Edna,” remained officially registered in independent India and became the foundation upon which a pioneering business was born.
In the years that followed, he built a reputation for quality and innovation in personal care; launching products like perfumes, eyeliners, mascara, and inventing the world’s first conical “Kajal Stick”, a design that has now become iconic around the globe.
The second generation, led by Ajit Singh Gandhi, carried this spirit forward through the 1970s and beyond — expanding capabilities and introducing new innovations like a water-soluble gel-based roll-on perfume, designed for unmatched stability and performance in any climate.
With the turn of the century came a new vision. In 2001, Punit Singh Gandhi established Grace Universal as a forward-looking company focused on international markets and private label manufacturing — bringing decades of heritage to the world stage. “Edna” continued as our beloved domestic brand under the Grace Universal umbrella.
Today, under the leadership of Sohaill Gandhi, we continue to innovate and evolve — adding product lines such as scented candles, home diffusers, body mists, and an expansive range of bath and body care. Every product we create reflects our commitment to legacy, sustainability, innovation, and uncompromising quality.
From concept to shelf, we are proud to be a trusted partner to global brands — crafting personal care experiences that connect generations, cultures, and senses.
