Surekha has her husband, son, and daughter-in-law in her family. After years of fulfilling family responsibilities, Gade decided to do something for herself and become self-sufficient. She joined the Home Chef initiative by the GTT Foundation and RBL Bank and excelled in culinary skills. Gade now takes food orders from small parties, runs a tiffin business, and regularly makes snack items to sell. She earns more than 15000 rupees every month which is a huge success for her and her family.

Gade states, “GTT Foundation not only helped me with training but also offers me the opportunity to run food stalls in their office premises. For this reason, I earn a respectable amount every month and support my family. ”
