In this episode of The Story Bar, Garima sits down with Nidhi Kalani, the passionate baker behind Better Batter, a homegrown bakery that started as a lockdown experiment and has since won hearts with its handcrafted treats. But this story isn’t just about baking—it’s about resilience, family, and the power of customer love.

Nidhi shares how her mother— the true chef and hero of Better Batter — brought the vision to life while she considers herself just an employee. We dive into the challenges of scaling up, maintaining consistency in customer experience, and why a personal bond, not just transactions, drives true loyalty. From navigating safety concerns while running a street-side stall late at night to handling negative experiences and language barriers, Nidhi opens up about the realities of being a young entrepreneur.

We also explore the magic of customization, the fundamentals of a timeless brand, and why baking is more than just making cakes—it’s about crafting memories. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered how a 10-year-old could start a bakery, Nidhi has some words of wisdom!

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about balancing passion with a full-time job, the role of family and friends in entrepreneurship, and why ownership is key to building something bigger than yourself.
