But with her venture Kokanraj, she earns revenue of over 2.5 crores per year, she says.⁠

From having to sell their home to face the ire of relatives for wanting to run her own business, Lalita's entrepreneurial journey has thrown up many ups and downs.⁠
"When we started, it was after we had to sell off everything that we owned. All we had was Rs 500, which I put into this business of making kokum sharbat.⁠

Nobody understood it. They would rather I take up a secure job with a fixed salary at the end of the month.

Contrary to popular belief, the Gulmohar is not a native species; it comes from Madagascar.
