Guwahati Homemaker Builds Rs 2.5 Lakh Monthly Sweets Business
Sunita Agarwal loved making sweets and snacks for her family.
In 2022, she decided to turn that hobby into a business called Kitchen and Gupshup.
She began with four products, including barfi, roasted gram and mathris.
The business later grew to more than 30 products and moved into a commercial kitchen.
Sunita’s son joined her and helped recruit traditional sweet makers from Rajasthan and Haryana.
The company now has nearly 3,000 customers and earns about Rs 2–2.5 lakh each month.
Sunita checks the sweets herself before they are packed.
She also helps women sell the products from home so they can earn money without fixed work hours.
One seller, Prem Agarwal, earns around Rs 6,000–7,000 or more each month through the program.
Sunita Agarwal launched Kitchen and Gupshup in 2022 with four homemade sweets and snacks.
The business expanded to more than 30 products and moved into a commercial kitchen by 2024.
K&G now has eight team members, nearly 3,000 customers and about four to five daily orders.
The venture earns approximately Rs 2–2.5 lakh monthly and sells through its website and Amazon.
Sunita’s initiative lets women sell K&G products from home, with participating sellers receiving 23 percent of sales.
