Give a brief info about your startup?

Saby’s Barbee Mania (SBM) is a company that makes homemade spices using the secrets of our ancestors and especially that of my Mom (Naseem Yunus) who has been cooking ever since the age of 10yrs. My association with spices began when I grew the passion to open a restaurant. However, due to certain constraints, I missed out fulfilling that dream. But today my dream is bigger and it extends to catering to hundreds of household, restaurants and coffee shop.

I know about the secret recipe of my spices and it has been with me since the age of 13yrs old. To think of it, the spices business has always been in my blood. I hail from a Gujarati Muslim family and late dad was from Porbandar. All the same, it was not an easy journey setting up Saby’s. When I started I was myself not sure, where I was headed for. But today I am glad that things have worked out well.
