  • A company grew its business TEN times during covid-19 pandemic using ingenuity and business resilience!

    Vadodara, Gujarat [India] : Vadodara-based food startup All That Dips achieved ten times business growth despite covid-19 pandemic through the well-timed launch of gourmet cooking sauce brand Bechef.

    Vadodara: The Covid-19 pandemic made tasks difficult for companies, small or big. It has disrupted economic and social normalcy throughout the world. Many successful companies had to shut down operations or cut down businesses overnight. People lost their livelihoods; social connections disappeared with built-up health concerns.

    In the middle of this mayhem, the Vadodara-based food startup All That Dips has managed to overcome the pandemic challenge and achieved 10 times business growth. This significant achievement has been possible solely because of the intelligent and well-timed business decisions and product launches.

    For over 10 months, country-wide lockdown forced people to stay confined in their homes, while restaurants and food joints remained closed. Food being an obvious choice to spice up our lives and nourish health, everyone started experimenting and attempting to home-cook delicious restaurant-style dishes. Ordinary people – food lovers, bachelors, mothers, or rookie cooks – was trying to be the chefs at their homes.

    All That Dips leveraged people’s crave for healthy, nutritious and restaurant-style food at home. They launched their new product line up Bechef. It is a brand of gourmet cooking sauces from cuisines across the world; prepared with farm-fresh ingredients; no colour, flavour or harmful chemical added.

    “Food is a sacred business, what we consume has a direct effect on the health of the consumer and hence there lies no room for error and use of inferior quality ingredients on what goes in our products.” – Dr Deep Lodhari, Founder & Director of All That Dips.

    Bechef cooking sauces come in various world cuisines, from North African Harissa Sauce to Jamaican Jerk Sauce and Chinese Kung Pao Sauce. The company strictly adhere to the principle of quality over quantity. Only farm-fresh ingredients, directly sourced from farmers markets, are used in preparing Bechef sauces. Production of sauces in small batches ensures that ingredients remain fresh and authentic. Products also taste uniform, and nutrient value remains intact.

    Bechef helped the company to survive and grow during the pandemic lockdown. Today, All That Dips has a pan-India reach–Panjab to Kerala and Gujrat to Assam. These gourmet cooking sauces are now available in more than 1000 supermarkets across 13 Indian states contributing over 50% to All That Dips revenue. The word-of-mouth publicity and reorders from satisfied customers, significantly, helped the brand to succeed.

    The company gets direct-to-customer business from its presence in online platforms and business-to-business sales through traditional distributions and modern trade format. They also sell products to various restaurants, caterers and hotels in bulk.

    For promoting Bechef brand, All That Dips is tieing up with the best chefs in India, engaging consumers through social media interactions, regular online cooking contests and other fun, engaging activities. Sampling and tasting activities in retail stores, malls and societies are also in full swing. The founders have plans to go international by launching the brand in South East Asian and Middle East Markets soon.

    All That Dips’ goal for 2021 is to be the fastest-growing company in the healthy foods and condiments category consolidating its presence across the territories in Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities and becoming a national brand.

    The story of All That Dips started in 2017 when Dr Deep Lodhari and Mr Dhaval Patel prepared a particular batch of Hummus & Fresh Salsa and sold worth of  ₹50,000/- within just two days in a local market! Both these gentlemen share craziness and passion for good food from across the world; they believe that good food can change the way of life. The initial success with Hummus gave birth to All That Dips. In a short period, the company became a big success. It started supplying fresh dips ranging from Fresh Hummus, Salsa, Guacamole, Cheese Dips, Aiolis and Yogurt in 16 yummy flavours to premium supermarkets across five states. Then covid-19 happened. And their thriving business got stuck with lockdown, closed stores and supermarkets. However, with their ingenuity and entrepreneurial zeal, the founders helped the company overcome the pandemic onslaught. All The Dips launched its gourmet cooking sauce brand Bechef for people willing to home-cook delicious healthy restaurant-styles dishes.

    Against All Odds – How Vibhas Sen challenged his Physical challenges

    This Brilliant Achiever is a Gold medalist in wheelchair fencing and silver medalist in Swimming. Meet Vibhas Sen a Tedx speaker and a paraolympian who has represented India internationally who was diagnosed with Polio as a child and his family never imagined that he will find his way into sports. With disability awareness lacking in Mumbai, India during his childhood, Vibhas usually stayed inside when his friends and classmates were outside playing. At the age of 12, he was denied the opportunity to swim at a local pool when coaches expressed concerns about being unable to teach a person with a disability.

    Vibhas began a successful career in digital marketing after earning his B.S. in Information Technology from the University of Mumbai in 2008. But Vibhas had it in him to prove it to the world that he is not equal to his physically complete fellow humans but by sheer will power and determination he can be a better sportsman than them.  And by his mid-20’s he was ready to pursue swimming again and convinced a coach to teach him how to swim. After six months of training, Vibhas was invited to participate in a state competition, where he surprised himself and won a silver medal. After that there was no looking back, he had developed the confidence that he can achieve the impossible.

    “Since that moment I have been rewriting the sports history of my family,” Vibhas says.

    After three years of intense swim training, Vibhas transitioned to wheelchair fencing, where he convinced a coach to train him. “I told my coach to take a chance on me—we could work together, watch a lot of YouTube videos, and do whatever I needed to prove myself,” Vibhas recalls. “After training for one year, there was a state championship and we won gold. Then we won gold again at nationals a month later.”

    At the start of 2017, Vibhas was ranked 35th internationally in men’s sabre. He competes regularly at the international level with the aim of reaching the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. In addition to training, he works as the senior manager of digital marketing for PNB MetLife Insurance India and serves on the committees for the Maharashtra Paralympic Swimming Association, Mumbai Fencing Association, and Wheelchair Fencing Federation of India.

    Throughout India, disability awareness and accessibility challenges present challenges preventing many of the country’s approximately 27 people with disabilities from accessing sports. Driven by this reality, Vibhas is active as a coach and speaker, visiting rehabilitation centers to speak with families and individuals who recently acquired disabilities.

    “Before sports, people just knew me as the disabled guy in advertising—that was my standard bio” Vibhas says. “Now their entire perspective has taken a 180 degree turn. When I was young, I was blocked because of a lack of awareness and support. Now, I want to make sure no other para athlete goes through the hardships I went through.”

    For his mentorship experience, Vibhas travelled to one of the foremost rehabilitation facilities in the United States. At Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, he was mentored by two leaders in the area of adaptive sports advocacy, research, and programs: Mary Patstone, director of adaptive sports and recreation, and Dr. Cheri Blauwet, attending physician at Spaulding, chairperson of the IPC Medical Committee, and seven-time Paralympic medalist in wheelchair racing. For years, Mary served as the director of development for a hospital in Cape Cod that later became a part of Spaulding, as well as in chief roles with the regional branch of the American Red Cross. She is very familiar with grassroots development and the important role played by partnerships in making adaptive sports sustainable. Similarly, Dr. Cheri is closely affiliated with the Paralympic movement and exposed Vibhas to key networks and relationships. These established leaders helped provide Vibhas with the tools he needs for achieving his dream of a nationwide movement of adaptive sports in India.

    Today Vibhas is inspiring the New Generation that with Will Power, Sheer Grit and Perseverance all the challenges can be overcome and you can achieve the impossible.

Since its inception, the association has been providing critical technical support across the crafts value chain to make craft-based businesses sustainable. It regularly conducts research to address the challenges faced by individual artisans and craft enterprises. Through its certification programmeCraftmark, it provides a seal of authenticity to genuine handmade craft processes; a certification that is recognized widely in India and globally.

    Speaking at the event, MsSreyaMozumdar, ED, AIACA said, “India has an overwhelming presence of micro-craft enterprises that employ, on average, less than three workers. Over 80% of these enterprises are self-financed and a negligible percentage of the enterprises borrow from financial institutions. Since their operations are not as organized as a typical manufacturing enterprise, it affects their ability to access financing and credit from the formal financial sector. Through Craft Kutumb- ShilpUdyam Samman we aim at recognizing the commendable efforts of Indian craft businesses and also provide acceleration inputs to help them stabilise, scale and grow amidst the global pandemic. We hope our initiative will help Indian artisans and enterprises create business viability overall.”

This is an opportune time for us to stand up for the Indian artisan communitysupport crafts businessesby going ‘vocal for local’. We look forward to joining hands with allies and partners to drive this initiative through our Membership programme – the Craft Kutumb.”

    A lot of questions are also being raised on the consent of his family members. Whether the story of Kuldeep Singh Sengar, accused of Unnao rape case will be shown with honestly? This is still a big question as Kuldeep Singh Sengar is still in jail, so how many such incidents will be shown on the big screen with justice?
