How love for Bihar’s staple makhana helped build an all-woman enterprise in a small hamlet in interior Karnataka
Raksha and her father Gopinath Shenoy, also an entrepreneur, decided to run their operations out of Miyar, a few kilometres from Karkala. And that is how Nummy (short for naturally yummy) makhana was launched in August last year. In less than a year, this small-town business is already shipping its products across the country, as well as to retail outlets in Telangana, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
