An Indian woman’s request for donations for her daughter’s studies gave the founders of College Curries a business idea: why not sell curry seasonings that Indian housewives traditionally produce in great variety – and thereby finance their children’s university education? No sooner said than done. College Curries now sells two spice blends produced in Germany according to Indian family recipes, online and through retailers. Two young people are already able to study from part of the proceeds. The start-up brings authentic curries into German kitchens, promotes education in India – and connects different worlds in the process.
