I am a former restaurant designer turned entrepreneur and the founder of Fusspot & Foodie. The concept for F&F was born from my passion for healthy eating and fuelled by experiences from my own parenting journey. As a working mum who clocked long hours, I would often look for prepackaged, kid-friendly food products to make my life easier. Long story short, I was astounded by the lack of options that were kid-friendly and healthy, which also didn’t taste like bland cardboard.
It made me realize that we needed to pay urgent attention to what our kids are eating and prioritize high-quality nutrition for their growing bodies. Big corporations invest big money into products aimed at attracting children, so many of which are nutritionally poor and can have devastating effects on their health. So, it is up to us little guys to be the voice of change and to educate not just ourselves, but also those around us. What excites you most about your industry? There is never a dull day in the food biz! I love that we get to push ourselves, to experiment, and keep evolving, to create more value for our customers through health-giving products and services. I also love the fact that we get to interact and chat with our customers and really get to know them. What’s your connection to Asia? I was born and raised in India but we have called Singapore home for 11 years.
Favorite city in Asia for business and why?
Singapore, because as a first-time business owner, the process to set up and operate a business, as a foreigner, could not have been easier! Other than Singapore, I think I would love to someday do business in Pune, India where I was born and spent most of my formative years. What used to be a relatively quiet university town, is now a vibrant city and home to people from many parts of the country, and the world.
