This lady from Mizoram turned a simple soda business into a 10 Cr. startup. Meet Zomawii Khiangte, who, along with her husband Felipe, created Local All Natural Soda, a brand that's now making waves in the Indian beverage market. The story started in 2016 when Zomawii returned from the US with Felipe. They set up Local Beer, one of North Indiaโ€™s first craft brewery. But fate had other plans โ€“ a change in government and the pandemic caused their business to shut down. But Zomawii didnโ€™t give up. In 2021, she launched Local All Natural Soda, blending the unique flavors of North India like Pomelo, Ginger, Ale Orange, into a craft soda made from locally sourced fruits. Premium quality, locally grown, and full of regional flavor โ€“ this was a recipe for success. This soda brand is now quickly became a household name across the entire North East region. Now, itโ€™s expanding to Bangalore as well and aiming to capture the southern market too. What can you learn from this: Sometimes, the key to success lies in embracing local flavors, staying persistent, and understanding the market needs. Zomawii's story shows how resilience and innovation can create something truly impactful.
