Homemakers

Reshma Suresh founded 'Tocco' to empower home chefs, helping them showcase their talents through homemade regional delicacies infused with nostalgia and local flavours. Prepared in small batches, these dishes also offer busy people easy access to healthy, wholesome meals.

Hafez Rahman and Akshay Raveendran launched Athey Nallatha, a small-scale pickle manufacturing business, which employs Kerala's homemakers.

The homemakers also get orders from countries like Australia and Canada where their gulkand, dried rose petals, and rosebuds are popular.

A survey report conducted with 1,267 homemakers across the country, revealed that although 48% housewives have entrepreneurial dreams when they are young, only 1 out of 4 attempt at it.

The Better India got in touch with co-founder Rachna Rao, to document the journey of this unique startup.
