A Saturday That Touched My Heart
Saturday, August 10, 2025, started like any other day at my office-cum-outlet. I was attending to regular tasks when a customer walked in, greeted me warmly, and said, “I want to talk to you.”
We sat down across from each other, and then came the words that caught me completely off guard — “Thank you.”
At first, I was puzzled. Why was he thanking me? Then he shared his story. His name was Shanmugam, an IT professional from Madurai. He had been battling cancer and had undergone eight sessions of chemotherapy.
During that challenging phase, he told me, he consumed our millet extruded products regularly. They became a part of his daily diet, helping him maintain strength and nutrition when his body needed it most. Now, he is fully recovered.
Hearing his journey filled me with a deep sense of gratitude and purpose. It reminded me why we do what we do — why we manufacture and promote millet-based, value-added products. They are not just snacks or meals; they are wholesome, nourishing foods that can truly make a difference in people’s lives.
This encounter reaffirmed my belief in the power of millet and the importance of bringing such healthy options to more people. To Shanmugam — and to every customer who trusts us — I say from the bottom of my heart: Thank you for sharing your story.
