MODEL ANSWER:

We all strive to be successful in our endeavours It is a fantastic feeling when our efforts result in success Recently, my very successful friend Shruti sent me a thank you note. Knowing that I played an important part in her journey, filled me with pride Shruti’s grandmother is an excellent chef and ever since I have known Shruti, I have visited her house every week to have her “Ammi ji ki chai” – a special tea with hand picked spices Last year, Shruti and I were discussing how much we enjoy her Grandmother’s tea. We knew that every tea lover would relish it but to be sure, we also wanted to do a small test Hence we hosted a party for 100 people. We served 2 different teas at the party and asked people to write how they felt about both the teas. Ammi ji ki chai was a huge hit! This led to the birth of the Brand “Ammi ji’s” While Shruti took care of the packing and sourcing, I held the responsibility of Marketing. We started taking orders through Facebook, and gradually expanded our online presence to Instagram. People from across India can now place orders of “Ammi Ji’s” products on Amazon, Flipkart and on their own website too. Today Shruti employs 10 people to take care of different aspects of her business. Her product portfolio has expanded to include pickle’s, Marmalade and chutneys. Ammi ji herself oversees the quality and ensures that all ingredients used and the taste is authentic. Shruti’s success is an inspiration to all women across the nation, and her and Ammi Ji’s journey has been published in various business magazines
