Two Pune friends started a ready-to-cook food startup in the last lockdown, now with a turnover of Rs 1.5 lakh per month

Today's Positive Story: 





Working professionals or bachelors often face lunch and dinner related problems. Many people are unable to cook due to job-occupation so they have to go to dine in hotels. Students studying away from home also face such problems. The problem was exacerbated during Corona, when the hotel was closed.

Khushboo, 30, is a professional CA and Akanksha has taken a course in fashion designing.

Aspiration said we both do jobs. We had the stress of cooking before and after going to the office every morning. Often we would eat in the canteen or in the hotel if we did not have time.

“One day while we were talking normally, the topic of cooking came up,” Khushboo said. We both faced difficulties in cooking. We felt that many people like us would have such a problem, so we decided to start a food business on a professional level.
