For the foodies!

By Shaan Bajaj

Small businesses are not only the backbone of the economy, but oftentimes they support the day-to-day running of a family too. Time after time we have heard of how women have ventured into the business space when the going gets tough, and this is exemplified by SKM Foodie (Instagram: @skm_foodie). Founded by Supaninee Dulyanithid during the COVID-19 pandemic, the business started off as a physical store before becoming entirely delivery based. She runs the business with two other women in her family, Varinder Kaur and Kuljyote Manchanda.
