The beginning
27-year old Mohit Jakhar from Hisar in Haryana initially did some routine jobs but it fetched him very less earning.
Hailing from Haryana, he was able to identify the potential of local and nutritious but underutilized traditional millet crops.
Mohit shared his business ideas with many bakery owners for making cookies for him and talked to printing press for marketing and advertising.
Incubated at National Institute of Agricultural Marketing, Swasth Pariwar Biotech was formally launched in 2018.
The products are sold under the brand name of ‘Wonder Choice’ and with the tagline – taste that you wonder. “Ministry of Agriculture for Farmers’ Welfare awarded us Rs 5 lakh for the ideation and initial stage of our start-up,” Mohit told chalgenius.com.
The business process
“We procure the millets directly from local farmers. There are 5 to 10 such farmers and remaining millets are grown on 50 acres of our own farm. These are manufactured at the company’s unit in Arya Nagar in Hisar. We manufacture cookies, biscuits and snacks from bajra, maize, jowar, chana, sesame, oats and multigrain.
Products are popular
Our products are very popular in local markets of Haryana. Apart from Haryana, we supply millet cookies to Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Bihar. We plan to sell our products in Delhi and other states of north India,” said Mohit.
Despite receiving offers from China, Australia and Thailand, Mohit wants to cater to the Indian market first before venturing out of the country.
Speciality of ‘Wonder Choice’ cookies
The cookies that are available in markets have transfats, maida and other salts that are harmful to health and cause obesity and diabetes.

In bajra, the complex carbohydrates release energy slowly so one feels fuller for a long time and thus serves as a perfect weight-loss diet. Along with this, bajra has a high nutritional value and iron content.
