Wassif Khan
He personalises meals for your pets.
There are presumably people somewhere who manufacture, perhaps even taste the processed foods meant for the consumption of our pets. But have you heard of anyone who creates "gourmet dog food" especially for your pooch?
Wasiff Khan, 27, does. For someone who was unsure about his future, his epicurean meals for canines are available across Mumbai. "There are a lot of dog lovers in Mumbai," says Khan, who launched his company Home Food in 2004 with hardly any investment. "Though packaged pet food is available in plenty, there was no fresh food option which was available," says Khan, who has created a successful business out of serving fresh food to pets.
His doggie treats sell for between Rs 30-120 per helping, and he even organises birthdays complete with special dog cakes for his roster of 500 clients. The food is simple ("I spoke to many veterinarians for a special dog food mix with jowar, rice, corn, wheat, maize, raggi and a choice of meat and vegetables," he says) and the best part is that it's freshly cooked and delivered at your doorstep.
Happy pet owners, yes, but can you imagine the satisfaction he brings to his tail-thumping clients!
