Shangreiwon is the founder of Popa Restaurant based in Imphal, Manipur.
A restaurant which serves fast food and confectionery and occasionally conducts baking classes and organises cooking competition to promote indigenous cuisine. The idea of her business came about as a result of her desire to promote indigenous cuisine like using black rice and perilla seeds as the main ingredients in some of her cooking.. That was when the idea of packaging and making it available to a larger market came about. She is trying to bridge the gap between indigenous food items and consumers who don’t have easy access to them, especially those who live away from home. Through Her&Now, Dhriiti has enabled Shangreiwon to build a network with other women entrepreneurs in the region and expand her capabilities. She reworked on her business model and is currently engaged in building a dominant digital presence in all platforms. She was provided leads on machinery and equipment for her venture she’s working on.
Shangreiwon is from Cohort 1.0 of Project Her&Now
