Businesses Are Not Always About Profits…
It is not about making profits but it needs courage and a heart that goes out for someone who is hungry. To such people, we salute. In the world where foreign food franchises are trying to completely take over healthy eating, she is an inspiration to all of us. Like her, there is a small shop in Delhi’s Noida which is called ‘Dadi Ki Rasoi’ which serves healthy, desi ghee dipped meals to the needy at only ₹5.
