These sisters-in-law earn Rs.15 lacs a month from Mithila's homemade pickles
JhaJi Pickles, created by Kalpana and her sister-in-law Uma Jha, sells Mithila's traditional handmade pickles. They earn Rs 10 to Rs 15 lakh every month from the business. Kalpana Jha of Bihar's Mithilanchal spent years producing delicious pickles and sharing them with family and friends. She stated, "I've always wanted to turn this into a business. But I couldn't because of my husband's profession as a federal servant. His profession forced him to relocate every three years, so launching a business seemed out of the question." An opportunity arose when her spouse retired in 2020. They moved to Laheriasarai, where Kalpana reignited her interest in starting the business. "I mentioned it to my spouse, and he supported me. He saw that his work did not allow me to follow my aspirations and immediately committed to help me," she recounts. Kalpana now makes lakhs of rupees by catering to pickle orders from all across the country....
