Many start-ups have opened in India over the past few years and some of them have improved their business and are earning billions of rupees every year. Today we are going to talk about such a start-up company. The startup has established itself within a few years and is generating revenue of up to Rs 50 lakh annually. We’re talking about Mighty Millets, which was launched in 2018 by a mother-son duo.
The company produces food products and has more than 50 products. The company currently supplies products such as nutrition bars, cereals, millet biscuits, vermicelli, noodles, pasta, pancake mix and vegetable chips to many major cities in India. Its customers include more than 50 hotels including the Taj Mahal Group and JW Marriott Hotels, to which it supplies food.
How was the company started?
Sahil Jain, a CA, founded the startup in 2018 along with his mother Meena. Sahil Jain used to work in a corporate company but wanted to do something on his own. He often worries about his 9-to-6 job. Even if he finished the work ahead of time, he had to wait until six o’clock. One day, however, he quit his job and began making nutritional supplements and other foods with his mother. Production of laddu sticks, vegetable chips and millet products started first.
Journey from Kitchen to Entrepreneurship
Sahil’s mother loves making delicious and nutritious food. One day, an idea came to Sahil’s mind: why not start a business that offered delicious, nutritious and unique food? He then started inviting some friends to his house for dinner and his mother would prepare some local dishes ranging from traditional food like Vada Pav to Hyderabadi toast. The trend continued for a few weeks and then he launched the Mighty Millets.
Annual income of 5 million rupees!
Gradually, Sahil Jain built a profitable business with Mighty Millets, developing a client base in over 50 hotels such as Taj Mahal Group and JW Marriott Hotels in Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai. Last year, they had an annual revenue of Rs 50 lakh and aim to double sales in the financial year 2024-2025.
