00:00We quit our high-paying jobs to sell samosas.

00:11We eat any party or any gatherings without samosa, it's always incomplete.

00:15Apart from the typical traditional samosas, to kachoris, to whatever we sell,

00:20we manufacture everything on our own.

00:30I absolutely love my job, he also liked it, but there was always this thing in him that

00:40I'm not meant to do this, I'm meant to do something else, I'm meant to create my own firm.

00:53There was just a small khela shop just beside this SBI and he was selling crazy number of

00:58samosas there.

00:59That's how I started thinking that something big can be done with this particular snack.

01:10Just the same evening, he calls me and he tells me, I get a million dollar idea,

01:14I'm going to open samosa shops across every state bank of India.

01:18And I was like, I was actually dumb mute.

01:21That is why we took our own sweet time to contemplate, keep thinking, doing some research,

01:26validating that this idea is actually worth the risk.

01:36And when we decided to quit, no, no, when we decided to start, and when I told him that

01:41yes, I'm there with you, I realized he's gone to the office, the first one to reach office

01:46that day and put the designation.

01:48So that I don't even get a second chance to contemplate or think about it.

01:57What would people say?

01:59What would we tell them that you're no longer a scientist, you're now, you know,

02:04cooking samosas or selling samosas.

02:06It's not attractive to say.

02:08So eventually they gave us their blessings.

02:14We knew from the day that from scientists, we'll be called as Halwai.

02:18When we started, we started doing well.

02:20And within two, three years of business, we really reached to a level where because the

02:24first major challenge for us as a startup was to get big clients on board.

02:44It was something which came from our heart.

02:46And it was a very spontaneous decision just because we were too sure that, you know,

02:51of doing this and getting into it.

02:54So our entire business, which was more than 95% of our business that we were getting,

03:01was from these multiplexes and the airlines.

03:04And it was completely, completely shut.

03:10We immediately pivoted.

03:12We started working on our B2C channels.

03:14We opened our cloud kitchens.

03:16We started doing the online deliveries.

03:19We moved from zero, I mean, zero business to a business of, you know,

03:25a multi-crore business, I can say.

03:37We'll be expanding to about 200 locations in the next one year.

03:41We want to grow, you know, to grow our business, to sell more samosas.
