Behind the Scenes

Mrs. Punam with the help of her husband, Mr. Brij Bhushan Ghai, started this business by grinding spices in a domestic mixer grinder, then packing them in plastic jars, sealing them, and shipping them to Canada. Her sister Renu was the driving force behind this venture. Gradually, her son Varun and daughter-in-law Ankna and youngest sister Mridula also joined the family business, assisting in the expansion of the business and growing the product line from 5 to 60. Around 20 local women are now employed by the company.
