Gap Finders: Spice Kitchen founders Sanjay and Shashi Aggarwal

Available for over a year

This week's Gap Finders interview is with Sanjay and Shashi Aggarwal, the founders of Spice Kitchen, a business that sells gift-wrapped tins of spices. Shashi is Sanjay's mum, and 10 years ago they tried selling an Indian spice tin - that she had put together - on eBay. It sold, and Spice Kitchen was born. They now produce spice blends from different parts of the world with a team of 15 based in Liverpool, and 500 stockists around the country. Sanjay and Shashi talk about the highs and lows of starting out in business, including designing the packaging, recruiting a workforce and trying to grow the company - and what it's like working with your immediate family.
