About

I run a baking brand called Dream a Dozen where we combine Indian flavours with gourmet gifting. We have achieved many milestones since 2018 - worked with 200+ brands across India, gave employment to dozens of women and even found myself on billboards across the country. Now - with the same values, I'm building Dream a Dozen 2.0. I found that Indian flavours needed to be celebrated in a gourmet way, which is why we created our "Indian Gourmet Gifting Collection." We're the home of the world's first "Besan Laddoo Cookie," - a fusion between the richness of Indian ingredients and the techniques of western baking just like everything else in our collection. Reach out if you're looking for world class gifting combined with the highest standards of service and integrity. I'm a cheerleader for all business people, especially business women and I hope someone can learn a little something from my sometimes funny, sometimes sad and mostly insane experiences. At the age of 18, I started selling cupcakes to my university's cafeteria and never looked back. Today, we deliver our desserts and gift boxes to thousands of customers across the country. One of the things I am most proud of is that once our clients start working with us - they continue that relationship for years to come. If you think we can work together - feel free to DM me on @megnajain on Instagram.
