Everyone love to read victim to epic success stories and would like to transform themselves. On this special Women’s Day, I would like to share a story of Shri Mahila Gariha Udyog Lijjat Papad. Seven people had started a venture to produce sustainable products at affordable price with their cooking abilities. These women bought their necessary ingredients and the basic infrastructure needed for manufacturing papads in the year 1959.
The group expanded as cooperative system, with increased
employees. But the organization faced trouble during the rainy season,
eventually stopped production for four months to prevent drying of papads.
However, they had rectified it by investing on cot and stove to prevent drying.
Sooner, the group fall into public eye and started to grow,
grew it and did not stop growing. By 2002, Lajjit had turnover of Rs 3billion
and exports worth Rs 100 million. Began with 8 employees, but with their monomaniacal
focus on producing quality and Lajjit mean ‘Tasty’ food employed them to 42,000
in 62 divisions by 2002.
