A Mother's Dream, A Community's Sweetness
In the heart of Sasaram, a small district town in Bihar, Poonam - a devoted homemaker, faced the harsh realities of life as a lower- middle-class mother. With mounting expenses for her children' s education and a dream to create a better future, she took a brave step forward, not just for her family, but for countless women in her community.
"I wanted to do something meaningful, something that brings warmth and hope, not just for me, but for all the women around me."
What started as a humble kitchen endeavor soon blossomed into Desi Mithas a brand born from resilience, love, and the timeless recipes of home-cooked sweets passed down through generations. Each batch carries Poonam' s spirit: the strength of a mother, the care of a homemaker, and the dream of empowering women through tradition.
