Moment of Inspiration
In 2014, Jayashree shook hands with her husband in the pulses business.

Unfortunately with the evolution of trends and consumers, operations & sustainability were questioned. But, it was just the business which had to fall, not the heart and mind behind it. Within a couple of months, Ms Jayashree witnessed the market gap in the home food industry. That thats the beginning of Shero Home Food.
