The Bihar-based mother‑son team has grown their Thekua venture from a modest four‑stove kitchen into a ₹75 crore enterprise, earning praise from actor R Madhavan.
From a modest kitchen with just four stoves, a mother‑son pair in Bihar has built a Thekua business that now generates ₹75 crore in revenue. The duo began by selling the traditional sweet in local markets, gradually expanding their production and distribution network across the state.
Their success is rooted in a blend of quality ingredients, consistent taste and a keen understanding of regional demand. By scaling up production while maintaining the authentic recipe, they have captured a loyal customer base and secured contracts with large retail chains.
Actor R Madhavan recently visited their facility and praised their entrepreneurial spirit, calling their journey an inspiration for aspiring food entrepreneurs. He highlighted how the duo turned a simple family recipe into a profitable enterprise.
The story underscores the potential of small‑scale food businesses in India to scale into sizable ventures, and it may encourage more rural entrepreneurs to pursue similar paths.
