Growing up, I really bonded with Nani over food. I had an almost insatiable longing for her sweets. No festival was complete without her pedas and nariyal chakkis. 
All our special occasions and festivals were incomplete without Nani's delicacies.
She used to spend hours in the kitchen preparing our favourite sweets and dishes. I think cooking is my Nani's pride, her identity. As she always says, "Cooking never tires her". She loves cooking for everyone- family, friends and even strangers.
Nani got married when she was 15. She recalls that her first culinary experience was quite a disaster and no one liked her cooking.
During the lockdown, we would spend long hours discussing our favourite things to do as we had ample time. One evening, I asked her if she'd ever considered selling her delicious sweets. Not surprisingly, the answer was a simple 'no'.
After that, it didn't take me very long to convince Nani to start our venture.
After a few days of brainstorming and planning, we launched 'Nani's Special'. The response to our launch on Janmashtami was unexpected. We delivered over 40 prasad platters and everyone called us back appreciating our dishes.
The joy on Nani's face at "having made it" was just the motivation that we needed to expand our venture. Nani has finally found her calling at 70 and she is thrilled to get an amazing response from her customers.
Today, we serve over 200 happy customers in various parts of the country. Nani's sweets and snacks have even made their overseas journey.
We've grown to a team of five and ensure that Nani's 'Ghar ka Sweets' is fresh, tasty, and most importantly hygienic.
