Suruchi Agrawal
Passion to Profession……this is the story of my Entrepreneurship.
Let me start my story with my short introduction,
Hi, my name is Suruchi Agrawal, and I am the owner of 2 homegrown start-ups Ghar Ki Bakery & Papquill – an Art & Craft Hobby Center, both are based in Hyderabad. I have been running the business for 2 years, going onto 3rd year now. I was always eager to start my own business, so I took the plunge 2 years ago, and haven’t looked back.
I am a native of Rajasthan, born & bought up in a small town world-famous for its Tiger Reserve Park Sariska. By education, I am a registered Pharmacist and have two Master’s degrees in Pharmacy (M. Pharm) and Business Administration (MBA). I am also a Fevicryl Certified Artist and trainer.
I am a proud mother of 2 lovely kids Krittika (Daughter 12 yrs) and Anant (Boy 4Yrs). Anant is a special kid who was diagnosed with Down syndrome by birth and is also an inspiration for my journey so far.
After Anant’s birth, I realized the presence of another world which is totally different than our normal routine life. Raising a special child gives you wings of passion and increases your creativity and strengths. I have utilized this strength to create these start-ups and now I am also helping other mothers of special kids including their God gifts to create such examples.
I was always passionate about cooking including Baking and sharing it with my friends and family members. But the thing is, I was always a worrier about how to start a professional journey. Luckily my society has a unique social media application that gives the opportunity to each homemaker to share their recipes and even a platform to run a home business. That platform gave me a starting boost and in a short span of time, my homemade cakes and other bakery items were everyone’s favorite. Then with help of my husband we created the Ghar Ki Bakery Brand.
Now let’s talk about Suruchi’s Ghar Ki Bakery
Suruchi’s Ghar Ki Bakery is an FSSAI registered Home-based baking studio based in Hyderabad. We are specialized in customized baking items for any age, gender, and taste requirement. We not only prepare celebration and party cakes (Wedding, Birthday) but also customized taste cakes based on individual choice (Tea Cakes, Vegan, gluten-free, and Sugar-free cakes).
One of the biggest road blockers of any home baker is when a customer asks them why their product is “not as cheap as the one you can buy in a bakery or supermarket.” Many home bakers take personal offense to this, and rightfully so. Outside baking preparations are most certainly not made fresh and have a shelf life of weeks, if not months. It has this shelf life because of all the preservatives and chemicals that go into it. The ingredients used are sourced as cheaply as possible, making it almost dubious in nature for human consumption.
Ghar Ki Bakery’s specialty is NUTRITION WITH TASTE where we use all curated natural ingredients, picked from certified vendors. Our all preparations are preservative-free and made from natural flavors. Our priority is to serve our clients to match their requirements since every cake is special and has an emotional touch.
Ghar Ki bakery is currently serving customers of Hyderabad and has planning to launch a few products in the tea & snacks category which can be consumed even after 15 days, hence easy to transport in other cities. My long-term plan is to open a Bake studio along with my Son, where I will also provide training to other aspiring home bakers. Learning never stops, I always try to attend online and offline international bake shows and workshops to learn new baking techniques.
