Apeksha Jain - Founder, The Gourmet Jar
Apeksha Jain is an ex-French-teacher and Food Blogger-turned-entrepreneur, who founded The Gourmet Jar, a brand of premium and innovative condiments that are completely natural and preservative-free.
Apeksha is an Economics graduate from Lady Shriram College, Delhi and has no formal training in cooking or making preserves. She is a self-taught confiturier who’s passion for cooking is guided by her instinct and a husband that loves food! The inspiration for her business came when Apeksha discovered the world of artisanal preserves & condiments during her one year stay in Paris. The banana jam was something she first tasted at a small orchard in Burgundy, and it was love at first bite. Apeksha was conferred an award for being an “Exceptional Woman of Excellence” by the Women Economic Forum, Delhi in 2017.

Anand has so far launched a London Dry Gin and a Contemporary-style Himalayan Dry Gin – the only two gins recognized by the Gin Guild from South Asia.
Most recently prior to the Gin project, Anand helped setup three leading Cocktail, Wine and Coffee destinations in the capital city of New Delhi under the umbrella of Perch Wine and Coffee Bars. He has also worked with Remy Cointreau & William Grant. He was the brand manager for Glenfiddich.
Episode Zero - Welcome to #Selfmade
Welcome to the #Selfmade podcast from LBB. This series celebrates the Indian entrepreneurs. Here, we deep dive into the journeys of some of the most extraordinary and inspiring people who have completely wandered off the beaten path and have built unique and successful brands.
LBB has always celebrated ‘Local’ and through this podcast we speak with entrepreneurs from across industries to try and shed light on their ‘Mantra’ for success. We discuss the journey, the challenges, the frustrating moments which seemed too big at the time, the people who made these companies, the strategy that worked and most importantly, we discuss the success. We try and get insight into the minds of these entrepreneurs and in the process, maybe help a promising entrepreneur take the next step.
