From Security Guard to Entrepreneur
In the bustling streets of Bangalore, far away from his hometown in Assam, Biganta Das worked tirelessly as a migrant laborer. From jobs as a security guard to stints as a construction worker, his life was filled with challenges.
But behind the hardships was a dreamer with vision, grit, and determination — qualities that would soon change his life forever.
A Food Inspiration in Bangalore
While in Bangalore, Biganta discovered his love for Malabar Parotta — a soft, flaky, and crispy South Indian bread.
He realized that in Assam, this delicacy wasn’t widely available. That single observation sparked an idea:
