A 9th‑grade student from Goa has begun selling moringa powder made at home, turning her backyard into a small business.
Grace de Souza, a ninth‑grade student in Goa, has turned her backyard into a small business by producing and selling moringa powder.
The venture, which began a few months ago, involves harvesting moringa leaves, drying them, and grinding them into a fine powder that is marketed to local consumers.
Grace says she was inspired by the health benefits of moringa and wanted to share a nutritious product with her community while earning a modest income.
While the operation remains modest, it highlights the growing trend of student entrepreneurship in India and the potential for small‑scale agri‑businesses to thrive in local markets.
