Perfectionist. If I have to describe myself in one word, this would be it. I’ve always had this in me to not give up on whatever I’m doing until I’m satisfied. Coming from a very simple middle-class background, I’ve been in the habit of doing everything myself. I’ve been an introvert most of my life, but that somewhat changed when I first started working as a pre-primary teacher. Then I worked in the art and crafts field for a while as well and took part in some exhibitions across Lucknow. Though I was working, I wasn’t satisfied. Then the pandemic came, and I didn’t want my daughters on two screens taking classes and me on third giving classes. I’ve always wanted something of my own, and hence came Savour-Up.
Never saw my mother buy those marketed spices, so that’s where I started. From buying the spices to cleaning and grinding, everything I did myself. As my mother always said, “We are what We eat”. In these post-pandemic times, where hygiene, health, and purity have become a major concern, home-cooked food is still considered the healthiest. And that’s where we come in, with spices that are bought, cleaned, grounded, and packed by me or under my supervision.
In these times, when women are coming out in the world and making a mark, they don’t have the time on hand to do this process themselves.
Savour-Up is for all those women who want pure and homely spices for their families, and that’s what our tagline says, “Ghar se…Ghar ke liye”.
I started with 6 spices. Now I’m dealing in 13 different spices, as well as Raw Honey and Himalayan Salt Lamps as well. I’m immensely happy with the response in the last 2 years. I hope to keep receiving your love so that I could be a part of all of your households.
