Snehal Merchant
I’m Snehal Merchant, the proud founder of Snehals Mithas, a brand dedicated to promoting healthy sugar-free sweets and premium chocolates with a specialization in unique sweet food items. My entrepreneurial journey began on August 19, 2020, driven by my passion for cooking and a desire to create wholesome products that bring joy to others. Before venturing into entrepreneurship, I spent over a decade working as a banker. It was a fulfilling career, but a part of me always felt drawn to the world of food and creativity.
Alongside my professional role, I was a homemaker, pouring my heart into my family’s needs. Cooking was my love language—a way to express care and affection. In 2020, amid the challenges of the pandemic, I found myself at a crossroads. The time felt right to pursue my passion and turn it into something meaningful. I started small, crafting sugar-free sweets and premium chocolates at home, primarily for my family. Their positive feedback and encouragement gave me the confidence to take a leap of faith. What began as a personal endeavor soon expanded into a business. I initially marketed my products within my personal circle of friends and family. Their love for my creations fueled my belief in the potential of Snehals Mithas. Encouraged by their support, I ventured onto social media, using platforms like Instagram and Facebook to showcase my products. This decision transformed my kitchen creations into a brand that could reach health-conscious individuals and sweet lovers far beyond my immediate network. The journey wasn’t without its challenges. Starting a business from home meant juggling multiple responsibilities while learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. However, my love for cooking and my desire to offer high-quality, healthy products kept me motivated. I poured my energy into perfecting my recipes, ensuring that every product reflected the love and care that inspired me to start this journey.Today, Snehals Mithas caters to a wide range of clients, including corporate gifting for festive seasons like Diwali and Christmas, as well as customized orders for weddings.
It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come from the early days when I was simply making sweets for my family. I firmly believe that the success of Snehals Mithas stems from my commitment to quality and the trust of my clients. Every order we deliver is crafted with precision and care, ensuring that it exceeds expectations. My clients have been my greatest supporters, and their loyalty inspires me to keep innovating and growing. Reflecting on my journey, I realize how pivotal 2020 was for me. It was a year that challenged the world in countless ways, but for me, it was also a year of self-discovery and transformation. From a homemaker and banker, I became an entrepreneur, turning my passion into a thriving business. As I look to the future, my vision for Snehals Mithas continues to evolve. I dream of expanding our reach, introducing new product lines, and creating even more unique and healthy treats for our clients. I want Snehals Mithas to be a name that people associate with trust, quality, and happiness. To anyone considering taking a leap of faith into entrepreneurship, my advice is this: believe in yourself and your passion. Start small, stay committed to quality, and surround yourself with people who encourage and uplift you.
Success is not always immediate, but with dedication and hard work, it’s achievable. Snehals Mithas is more than just a brand to me—it’s a reflection of my journey, my values, and my unwavering belief in the power of passion. I’m grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way, and I look forward to creating more sweet moments for years to come.
