Radio Finely Chopped by Kalyan Karmakar

Reshma and Annu are two sisters who grew up in a small town near Kochi in Kerala. Reshma went to Mumbai for her studies and to work. Annu went to Chennai to study and now works out of Bangalore. The two sisters are part of India's tech boom, having worked in the intersection of bio-tech and radiology and in AI. The lockdown and going back home and seeing the power of the cooking of their amma and amma chechi (maternal aunt) and their ambitions (the two matrons reached the semifinals of a cooking competition aired on TV), they felt the need to create a platform for such unspoken stars of Indian kitchens. Out of this came the inspiration to start Meengurry Memories, with their mum's banana chips as the first product. The brand and their vision has grown since then and they have now come up with TOCCO, a digital market place who want to create food products (not fresh meals). Annu is a sounding board and has a day job. Watch the episode to know more of this amazing story.
