The Recognition Came From a Newspaper, Not a Customer Review.

A nomination form asks what actually happened this quarter. For one Dehradun home kitchen, the answer included a newspaper calling her food the best in its category.

Mona's Kitchen's case for recognition

Monika Sharma, founder of the Dehradun-based home-catering brand Mona's Kitchen, writes that her biggest achievement this quarter was being recognized by the Times of India, Uttarakhand edition, as Best Home Chef. She describes it as a milestone tied to the passion and care that go into every dish at Mona's Kitchen.

The numbers behind the headline

Sharma reports the business saw 100% quarter-on-quarter growth in both revenue and customer orders, alongside the press recognition.

Already showing up in the order book

Sharma writes that Unhu's network has translated into actual business, members of the community have placed orders with Mona's Kitchen for personal events and celebrations, contributing to the brand's growth. She also writes that being part of the community boosted her confidence and communication skills.

What she's building next

Sharma writes that her focus now is expanding the catering segment of Mona's Kitchen, converting more customer inquiries into catering orders through food quality, personalized service, and timely execution. She also writes that she has contributed to the Unhu community through referrals and by encouraging new members to join.

"Mona's Kitchen stands apart for its commitment to serving fresh, hygienic, and high-quality food."

Your turn to write it down

What got Mona's Kitchen this recognition is on a form, not a front page: a question about the quarter's biggest win, a question about what's next, a question about contribution to the Unhu community. Every founder in Unhu has the same blank lines in front of them. The next nomination is just one honest answer away.
