EP 256 - Nisha is the co-founder of Naksha - a new spin on meal kits helping ordinary folk to cook adventurous food from around the world, at home.

We talk about how the business came about and the journey to winning a UAE National Incubator Programme which fast-tracked Naksha products onto major retailer's shelves. We discuss the range of challenges food startups currently face and how Nisha believes they could be tackled. She also tells us why the current Minimum Order Quantity levels set by manufacturers qualify for the big bin of bullshit.
