I’m the proud founder of BuaG Mushroom and Pickle, a company that specializes in crafting and selling a wide range of homemade pahadi products. Our aim has always been to bring the authentic flavors of the mountains to people’s homes.

When I first started my business, I faced numerous challenges. Orders were scarce, and the few I received mostly came from supportive family and friends. Despite the initial struggles, I remained determined to share the rich tastes of my homeland with the world.

A turning point in my entrepreneurial journey came when my brother, an alumnus of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in Nainital, stepped in to help. He decided to introduce my business to his Navodayan friends, who were spread far and wide. These individuals, bound by their love for the mountains and a strong sense of community, rallied behind my venture.

Word of BuaG’s homemade pahadi products quickly spread across Navodaya alumni pages and groups. I was overwhelmed by the support as Navodayans, one after another, became loyal customers. They didn’t just purchase my products; they cherished them. Their heartfelt reviews expressed how my pickles and mushrooms evoked fond memories of their hometowns and childhoods.

Curious about why Navodayans were so supportive, I asked my brother for an explanation. With a warm smile, he replied, “Humi Navodaya Ho,” a phrase that held deep significance. It was a reminder of the strong bonds, shared values, and a profound sense of belonging among Navodayans.

With the backing of this passionate community, BuaG Mushroom and Pickle flourished. Today, over 40 percent of my business comes from Navodayans, and I couldn’t be more grateful. My products have become a bridge, connecting people to their roots, and the Navodayan community celebrates this.
