This week, on Voices For Local, we have Mandavi Kanchan, the Founder and Creative Head of Bruijn on the show. Bruijn offers nourishing, gourmet delights which are modern interpretations of classic dried fruits & nuts. Mandavi tells Monisha more about growing up around her family’s homegrown small business, her key learnings like perseverance, adapting her father’s traditional sweet treats for Bruijn, getting inspired by global cuisine such as Iran’s ranginak while supporting local farmers, and the impact of sociopolitical and environmental issues on business.

Check Bruijn out at bruijn.in, and follow their journey on Instagram @bruijn.in. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial.
