Success Story: Who is Krishna Yadav? Meet Delhi woman who turned agricultural produce into a ₹5-crore pickle business
Krishna Yadav moved to Delhi with her family and just ₹500 after financial setbacks. A training course at Krishi Vigyan Kendra helped her learn the science of pickle-making. She went on to build Shree Krishna Pickles, a brand with more than 250 products and reported annual earnings of over ₹5 crore.
Krishna Yadav, a woman from a small village in Uttar Pradesh, started a ₹5-crore pickle business in Delhi. She moved to Delhi with her husband and three children, carrying only ₹500 when she began selling pickles on the roadside. After losing their home and struggling financially, Yadav enrolled in a course at Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) to learn how to prepare and preserve pickles.
With this knowledge, she started selling her products along busy roadsides and eventually expanded to a wide range of 250 varieties. Her business, Shri Krishna Pickles, now earns over ₹5 crore annually and has earned her numerous awards, including the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2016.
