JAMMU: Sat Sharma CA, President, Jammu and Kashmir BJP, accompanied by Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal, MLA & General Secretary, J&K BJP and other leaders inaugurated the new Carry & Forwarding (C&F) unit of MDH Masala under the banner of Jai Bawa Enterprises at Belicharana, Jammu. BJP District Presidents Naresh Singh Jasrotia & Adv. Rajesh Gupta, Social Media Incharge Ankit Gupta, Mandal President Reetika Deewan and senior leader Jaideep Sambyal were also present on the occasion.

The family of the firm's proprietor Tarun Gupta, including his father Sudesh Gupta, Neena Gupta, Sanjay Gupta, and Sunny, also attended the inaugural ceremony. Commending the young entrepreneur Tarun Gupta for his initiative, Sat Sharma extended his best wishes and emphasized the importance of business ventures in strengthening the regional economy. He added that many schemes of the Modi Government have created business and entrepreneurship avenues, and added that the enthusiastic youth of Jammu & Kashmir is now moving forward on the party, which is going to boost the economy of the UT and the nation.

“A single business unit supports multiple families and reflects the transformation from job-seeker to job-giver. For a sustainable socio-economic environment in the city, we need successful ventures in industry, business, and commerce,” he said. “Such enterprises also help in balancing economic growth, social equity, and environmental responsibility for the long-term prosperity and quality of life of our citizens.”

Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal appreciated the proprietor, congratulating him along with his family members for the business. He underlined the importance of good public relationship, competitive pricing, and consistent inventory availability for a good sustainable business. He added that this Masala business unit can be a lucrative and rewarding venture, especially given the strong and consistent demand for spices in the domestic market.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Tarun Gupta stated that the business represents more than just a source of income, rather it is a path to social recognition and a personal milestone.
