Navendu Mishra, who was working in the social sector always wanted to start something on his own. Since he came from the ‘Agriculture belt of India’, he was fascinated with the idea of milling his own oil. This thought was the beginning of Shree Ghani. Initially he sought the support from another local proprietor. He mills coconut, sesame seeds, ground nut, mustard seed oils to name a few. Within two years he has many customers in place.*
