Both of our shops are now open for business! We opened our outlet in Greater Noida's Honey Money Top on the 15th of December, and the shop in Sarita Vihar we opened a few days later on the 17th. Both shops are doing well, and now that some flyers have gone out in the local newspapers, people are discovering us and trying out our products. We now have 10 employees, not including our two Canadian volunteers and our four owner-directors. Here at the Srita Vihar Shop for our local workers we have Pintu our sales guy in the front, Rakesh our operations manager, Imran our bakers helper in the kitchen, and Ganesh and Anwar our prep-bakers/cleaning guys. Marc and Katie McIlveen from Canada also work here at the Sarita Vihar Kitchen, Marc as a Baker, and Katie as a front-end girl/systems coordinator/prep lady/whatever else we can find to keep her busy. Running the store front in Greater Noida we have Anjuli, Hemant, Nela and Salam.


Here is a glimpse of the faces of some of the people previously mentioned. From left to right we have Ganesh, Rahul (who ultimately lived too far away and couldn't afford the commute), Anwar, Marc, Imran, David, Anna, and Katie. Pintu had already gone home for the day when this photo was taken.



This is the store in Honey Money Top in Greater Noida. On the left is Salam, center is Hemant, and on the right is Anna of course.

Our customer base is now growing steadily, and people are excitedly telling their friends and family all about this fantastic bakery they found in a little hole-in-the-wall place in Sarita Vihar. It is encouraging to hear such stories of how people find us, and how much they have enjoyed our products.

Thank you to all who have contributed in many different ways to the beginning of a successful venture.
