NEW DELHI : By the end of April, Shareshtha Sachdeva knew she would soon be out of a job. The travel company she’d worked at for nine years decided to wrap up India operations because covid-19 had hit business.
Seven days later, she got the pink slip.“Initially, I was fine. Then it hit me. How was I going to take care of my child and two home loans?" She considered and dropped taking online tuitions and fitness classes.
Then she returned to her first love: cooking. Until she adopted her daughter in 2010, Sachdeva used to cater parties on weekends because she “loves plating, cooking, the whole thing".With the help of her 10-year-old, Sachdeva has started a food business from home.
