🌟 Elevating Quality in Everyday Choices 🌟 We have our favorite go-to platforms for movies, restaurants for Biryani, and brands for ice cream. But when it comes to something as essential as fruit, why is finding a consistently tasty option such a challenge? Reading about Pallav Bajjuri’s garu journey with Pickd, a brand born out of his family’s desire for guaranteed quality and taste in fruit, resonates deeply with me. This isn't just about food—it's about trust, quality, and reliability in what we consume daily. Pallav jis wife, Padma Ragam garu, took on the challenge and invested time and effort to bring the best-tasting fruit from around India right to the consumers' doorstep. Now, Pickd is not only offering freshness but also ensuring that each bite is truly delicious. It's incredible to see passion transforming the standards of an everyday product we often take for granted. If you’re in West Hyderabad and appreciate quality in every bite, consider giving Pickd a try. Sometimes, the simplest things are the hardest to perfect, but it’s those challenges that make the journey worthwhile. Kudos to Pallav ji, Padma garu, and the entire team at Pickd! 🌱🍎 #QualityMatters #FreshFruit #Entrepreneurship #Agriculture #Innovation

Sanam Kapoor was an ordinary man with a steady job at HCL and a loving family. But he dreamed of doing something different. He loved pizza and decided to quit his job to start his own pizzeria, despite knowing that many new businesses fail and he didn’t have much money. Opening a big restaurant in Chandigarh was too expensive, so he started a small pizzeria called La Pino’z. He knew he had to compete with big names like Domino’s, Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s, which dominated the market. Sanam had some smart ideas. He sold single-slice pizzas so customers could try different flavors without buying a whole pizza. He also used local spices and ingredients to create unique flavors. To keep things fresh, La Pino’z made new dough every three hours. He priced his pizzas low, making them affordable for everyone. In India, many people are vegetarian, so La Pino’z let each franchise decide if they wanted to serve only vegetarian pizzas or include non-vegetarian options. This made La Pino’z popular with more people. Sanam’s efforts paid off. La Pino’z grew from one store in Chandigarh to over 100 stores by 2017 and more than 600 stores by 2022, earning 1000 crore rupees in revenue. They even opened a store in London that year. And they’re still growing. La Pino’z is opening new stores in Australia, Canada, Dubai, and Tanzania. Sanam Kapoor’s journey from an IT job to a successful pizza business shows that with passion and smart ideas, you can achieve great things, even in a tough market. #marketinggrowmatics #FoodBusiness #foodtech #startupsuccess #startupindia #FoodIndustry #entrepreneurs

How #Backbencher #Chaiwalas of #Patna Are #Outpacing #BigBrands… #Patna’s #MarineDrive, where the Ganga glistens under city lights, and the streets come alive with the chatter of customers flocking to carts like Backbencher Chaiwala. These chaiwalas aren’t just selling tea—they’re stirring up a grassroots entrepreneurial revolution that’s giving big brands like MBA Chaiwala and Dolly Chaiwala a run for their money. 🙌 Patna’s Marine Drive has become the beating heart of street vending culture. With over 200 chai vendors and street food carts, this stretch offers more than just refreshments; it provides livelihoods to thousands. On average, each chaiwala earns ₹2,000–₹3,500 daily, depending on their location, variety, and customer service. This figure often rivals or surpasses the daily sales of franchise outlets operating in premium urban zones. 🙌 These small-scale entrepreneurs are doing more than selling tea—they’re challenging the narrative. Brands like Mba Chaiwala come with polished marketing and aggressive expansion strategies, but they lack the authenticity that draws people to Marine Drive. The local chaiwalas, on the other hand, represent a thriving informal economy that contributes significantly to the city’s vibrancy. 🙌 Not all chaiwalas dream of going national; many are content with their hyper-local success. But that doesn’t make their contributions any less significant. They’re the "backbenchers" of the entrepreneurial ecosystem—not in terms of talent but in how they defy conventional success stories. They remind us that it’s not always about being at the front; sometimes, it’s about serving your community with pride and staying true to your roots. 🙌 So, the next time you’re on Marine Drive, skip the heavily branded cafes and grab a chai from a humble cart. In that steaming cup, you’ll find a story of ambition, grit, and the unbeatable charm of Patna’s street vendors—brewing success one sip at a time ☕️…

The #Rise of Tanvi . & Tanvi Foods. Playing the price game against the Soft Drink giants. A leadership Playbook for aspiring Entropreneurs! Riser.Live 🌱🧡💛💚 Usha Prasad socio360fy.com The Weekend Leader Media https://lnkd.in/gB9bzA_X Thiru Prabhu Gandhikumar quit his well-paying Rs 48 lakh per annum salaried job in the US eight years ago and returned to his hometown Coimbatore.Town to look after his Family Business. After a couple of years of working in the Foundry started by his Grandfather, he raised the bar higher for himself by setting up his own foundry Neocast. When this new venture too didn’t challenge him enough, he looked for newer opportunities. At age 31, Prabhu plunged into the Fruit Juices and Soft Drink business, a field that is dominated by big giants like PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company. However, in a strategic move, instead of taking the giants head on, he targeted the consumers at the bottom of the pyramid with low priced products and has built a Rs 172 crore brand in just eight years. Prabhu first established TANVI FOODS (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED as a partnership firm in early 2016 with his wife Shri Brindha Vijayakumar and started with mango and apple juices. “In February and March, the mango and apple juices sold in 200 ml PET bottles at Rs 10 did very well,” says Prabhu. “We did roaring business. I was clear that it was going to be the market I would cater to.” The interesting thing was that they made profit even at that price. “We saw a gross margin of anywhere around 24% to 25% at that point. Since I was the only salesperson then, after transportation and other expenses, the net profit was around 10% to 11%,” he says. “We are still able to manage at this price point in the last eight years as we are doing bigger volumes.” Now the company has 170 employees. The business did well in the first year with a turnover of Rs 40 lakh, and since then its revenue has been growing 3x annually. “Fortunately, we never came into the radar of large MNC players such as Pepsi or Coca-Cola. We decided never to compete in the place they are in. The rural area is where our market is,” adds Prabhu. With distributors demanding carbonated drinks as well, they started making lemon-based and orange-based carbonated fruit drinks in 2017. Demand for the products shot up and Prabhu realised he needed more capital to grow. In 2018, he incorporated TABP Snacks & Beverages Private Limited. based on the advice from his friend Arun Kumar mukherjee. He merged Tanvi Foods with TABP (which is an abbreviation of the names of his daughter Tanvi, wife Brindha and his own name Prabhu). Initially, the company raised Rs 2.5 crore at a valuation of Rs 26 crore through his friends mukherjee&co and other Angel Investors Network. Best Wishes!
