About

Growth manager turned founder. I'm the founder of The Malwa Story - a brand meant to bring out the Malwa region stands for - mostly food but probably a lot more very soon. What do we sell? Currently only sev and soon more things to follow but everything will be from the Malwa region. What's the Malwa region? It's the central part of the country - Indore, Ujjain, Ratlam, etc. Why am I doing this? Coz we malwi folks are crazy about our food. We eat sev in all meals. But when we move away from our homes, we don't find it anywhere. We don't buy if it's not the original. I wanted to solve this. So here I'm.
