With 10 years of business experience and successfully running Favola and one multi-cuisine restaurant Dacha Social (Goa), she has launched her cloud kitchen project – The Chhaunk. Singh founded The Chhaunk as a woman entrepreneur in 2021 together with her Saas, Hiranyamayishivani. We believe it is difficult to work with saas in India. However, this Saas-Bahu team has opened 7+ restaurants that offer Bihari cuisine within a year. It is crucial to have a strong relationship when you run a business. This couple makes a great team for saasbahu.
