Business Venture
How did you come up with the idea of your business?
We know, Jowar Bajara and Ragi are traditional, but nutritional healthy dryland crops that are slowly minimized in cultivation and production. Because these have limited options for making easy recipes. Nowadays, Urban ladies have no time to cook healthy food in minimum time, so we brought the easy recipes of Jowar Bajara and Ragi traditional food in modern style without changing any taste or without adding preservatives, chemicals and flavours.
What problems are your business solving?
Due to unavailability of gluten free food, slow releasing carbohydrates food, high fibre, fibre food may cause many lifestyle diseases. Also, as a question of time in urban family for eating healthy food in minimum time, we brought easy recipe of Jowar Bajara and Ragi. We brought Jowar flakes, so anyone can eat this roasted Jowar or Bajara flakes with milk by adding jaggery/sugar, dry fruits/fresh fruits. Also, we can make Jowar Upama or sweet shira by Jowar Rava. Also, from Jowar Idli or Ragi Idli or Ragi Dosa, we make easy south indian products by just adding soured curd. But all these products are preserved naturally, no added any preservatives or colours in it.
