Shailaja Jagannath Raut was a devoted housewife from a small village with a deep passion for cooking. She always dreamed of doing something of her own, something that would let her share her love for food and flavors with others.
Starting from what she knew best, she decided to make her own Kanda Lasun Masala Chutney—a traditional onion and garlic blend filled with the authentic taste of her region. Her first batch was an instant hit with neighbors and friends, and soon the word spread about the unique, rich flavors of her masalas.
Motivated by the overwhelming support, Shailaja dedicated an 800-square-foot space to her growing business. Through hard work and determination, she turned her dream into a reality, inspiring other women in her village to pursue their own passions. Today, her spices are celebrated for their authentic taste, and Shailaja’s journey is a beautiful reminder that with love, dedication, and a simple idea, extraordinary things can happen.
