Two Mangaluru Women Entrepreneurs Shahida and Shahira began Hamd Home Products in 2018 as a small venture with 20 home products. The duo used to deliver the products themselves before inaugurating the store in the city on Monday.
The company manufactures a variety of fresh food ingredients ranging from various spices powders to the stone ground paste. Standing true to its motto 'Healthy food, Healthy Life', Hamd Home Products offers taste and interesting platters which are organic, natural, chemical-free, and preservative-free.
“Hamd has been delivering fresh food to our customers for about 5 years now, only to find ourselves opening our first ever outlet with more than 75 products today. Our motto hasn't changed much ever since, if something has changed it's our products which only got better, and our kitchen, bigger.” The co-founders said after the inauguration of their first store.
“It didn't take long for us to realize that our products were running out of storage sooner than before and hence we decided to upgrade Hamd Home Products to Hamd Home Store, filling out the shelves with a variety of products not just from our company but other similar organic products companies too. For more transparency and to develop trust, we have now opened the Hamd Home Store, wherein we have made it easy for the customers to see the products before buying them, to rid of uneasiness often faced during online shopping.
“When you pick up a packet of Hamd products, you choose food made in a homely atmosphere, with immense care and hygiene. Products weighed and sealed are fresh, nutritious & delicious. Additionally, our products are produced and packed in a small range to preserve freshness. We make sure it has no contaminants, or any damages all the way from our kitchen to your table.” They added.

Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
