Introducing Little Cherry Mom: A Millet-Based Healthy Food Brand for Babies
Jyoti Srivastava, a chemical engineer from Uttar Pradesh, India, is the founder of Little Cherry Mom. After facing issues with breastfeeding her son, Jyoti began researching healthy food options for babies and discovered the nutritional benefits of millet. She left her job to focus on her baby and started her entrepreneurial journey in 2019.
🌱 Millets: The Key Ingredient: Millet, the primary ingredient in Little Cherry Mom’s products, is rich in protein and calcium and has healing properties. Scientific evidence shows that millet can boost child growth by 50 percent and are effective in overcoming malnutrition. Little Cherry Mom’s products are based on extensive research and stand out from the competition.
🍼 The First 1,000 Days of a Child’s Life: Little Cherry Mom offers healthy food options during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, particularly between 6-24 months, which is a critical period for growth and development. Failure to introduce complementary foods during this period can lead to physical and brain growth faltering, micronutrient deficiency, malnutrition, and infectious diseases.
💪 Contributing to Healthy Development: In addition to offering nutritious products, Jyoti has trained more than 300 mothers and helped them cook millet-based recipes for their babies. She aims to expand her training to rural areas of the country to enable women to provide the right kind of nutrition for their babies.
👩👧👦 Empowering Women in India: Jyoti’s journey highlights the challenges faced by women in India who leave their jobs after the age of 30 to take care of children. Little Cherry Mom’s success has led to recognition by the state government, and Jyoti is contributing to the healthy development of babies, which is the foundation of the country.
🌟 Future Plans: Jyoti is planning to introduce milk mixes and millet-based cereals next month, expanding the range of Little Cherry Mom’s nutritious products.
Little Cherry Mom is making a significant impact on the lives of babies and mothers in India by providing them with healthy food options and empowering them with knowledge.

Living with Purpose: An Indian Proverb to Inspire Your Daily Actions
The Indian proverb “Every time you wake up and ask yourself, ‘What good things am I going to do today?’ remember that, when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it.” is a powerful reminder of the importance of living with purpose.
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to pause and reflect on our actions.
An example is Kiran Bir Sethi, the founder of the Riverside School in India. She believes that education is a powerful tool for change and has dedicated her life to transforming the way children are taught. Her school focuses on empowering students to take action in their communities and make a positive impact on the world.
In his book “Man’s Search for Meaning,” Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl wrote, “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”
Frankl’s experience in Nazi concentration camps taught him that even in the most horrific circumstances, humans can find purpose and meaning in life. He believed that finding meaning and purpose is essential for our well-being and helps us to endure and overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
These examples remind us that living with purpose means asking ourselves what good we can do each day. It means setting goals and taking actions that align with our values and beliefs. It means being mindful of how we spend our time and making choices that contribute to the greater good.
In the words of author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” By setting goals and living with purpose, we can make a difference in the world and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
