Once moving back to San Francisco with her sister, she began cooking Nepalese food and selling to the clients from her sister's daycare. Bini and her sister have worked with Start Small in the past and gradually developed a successful brand. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit their business hard and it is their hope that they can survive the pandemic.
