Santana Pereira

• Baking

Professionally, I am a teacher who pursued her passion for baking after retirement. Since I got introduced to the Alippo Learning Centre for multiple courses, I’ve not had a full week, having enrolled in several of the programmes. The courses have helped me stay motivated through the learning process, and my Alippo journey has been over a year now. Ever since I started attending the Alippo workshops, there has been no looking back. The courses have helped me learn several new things and boost my confidence. I started my own home-baking brand, Viva Santana, initially starting off with tea cakes and now gradually moving into other different types of cakes. I am still learning new techniques from Alippo towards becoming a baking entrepreneur, and I am sure there’s so much more to look forward to!

• Baking

My name is Riddhi Rajput, owner and founder of the Vinayak Cake House. I love baking. Baking is my passion. I love to experiment with new things in baking. I started this Vinayak cake house in 2020. First, I started making assorted chocolates and selling them in my papa's shop. Then I gradually began making cakes for relatives, family, and friends because I enjoy doing so and eventually became proficient. I learned so much from the alpist. Thank you so much, Alipo. Now I've started working professionally in this field and am learning a lot.

Ramya Rao

• Product Formulation

I am a homemaker from Kundapur, Karnataka. I have completed my 3 years of a Diploma in Fashion Designing and an M.Com. I stay with my husband, 12-year-old son, and in-laws. As I am very interested in making and selling handmade soaps and cosmetic products, I started joining online classes related to making handmade cosmetic products that were taught by certified formulators and instructors and started to make and give the products to my family, friends, relatives, and neighbours. I started getting good reviews on the products. So I thought of turning this into a business and started selling the products. Now I feel proud to say that I am running a small-scale business of home-made, handmade soaps and cosmetic products all by myself under the brand name Imperial Cosmetic Hub. Last but not least, I'd like to thank the Alippo team because I've learned a lot from Alippo's courses and am excited to learn even more in the future.

Manjula

• Baking

I am Manjula Dinakaran, 55 years old, homemaker grandmom of 4 grandchildren. I started baking healthy foods for my grandchildren. They were my first critics. When they enjoyed my baking, I explored homemade chocolates and attended a lot of workshops. My week will be filled with baking ideas. My first big batch was for Diwali in 2021. I started receiving good reviews from friends and family. Slowly started having small orders by word of mouth... and we started out with our brand, M- Made with Love. We received our FSSAI certificate a few months ago, and now I am working on orders for family and friends' special occasions! The Alippo course is helpful for me to learn how baking can be done professionally and what the process is for establishing my brand. For all women, age is no barrier; follow your passion and interests; even one small baby step at a time is enough towards your journey of happiness.
