Daughter’s Hair Fall Inspires 85 year old couple to Launch Hair Oil With 50 Herbs

Radhakrishna and Shakuntala Choudhary are a retired couple from Surat, Gujarat, who launched ‘Keshpallav Hair Oil’. They claim their oil helps with male pattern baldness, hair fall and other issues.

“If you like dancing, will you ever get tired of it? I don’t think factors like age, place or even non-preferable music will come in the way. Likewise, researching about and making hair oil does not exhaust me,” says Radha Krishan Choudhary, aka Nanaji (grandfather).

The 85-year-old resident of Surat, Gujarat, has joined a growing tribe of entrepreneurs who emerge post-retirement age. His wife Shakuntala is his business partner.

The duo launched their startup ‘Avimee Herbals’ with an aim to provide a toxic chemical-free hair oil to resolve problems like premature balding, excessive hair fall, greying and dandruff.

With approximately 200 orders a month from across India, the tiny venture has taken off in a big way.

The Triggering Point

After working for nearly 50 years in his family business, Choudhary retired in 2010 to begin his second innings. Little did he know that his entrepreneurial bug was still not satiated.

So in early 2021 when his daughter complained of hair fall, instead of researching existing hair oil brands or suggesting home remedies (generally involving the right diet) like every other parent, Choudhary went one step ahead.

One morning, he sat at his desk, switched on the computer and began researching the causes of hair fall. With several research papers and books by his side, he would spend hours at a stretch for the cause.

“I was bombarded with hundreds of solutions, including hair fall masks, treatments, organic oils, kitchen hacks but none of them could address my doubts. Finally, I decided to put my skills to use and develop my own oil. I had always been engaged in these little home experiments while growing up so this was just another trial, or so I thought,” says Choudhary.

Impressed by his diligence and focus, Shakuntala joined him in his research. They would identify the cause of each problem and find its solution in different herbs.

“It is all about decoding the human body. For example, a male’s receding hairline is linked to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgen. For females, insufficient estrogen can cause hair growth imbalance. We searched for herbs that could block DHT to some extent,” says Choudhary without revealing the trade secret.

Based on their extensive research, the duo made hair oil with a cold-pressed technique. It is a blend of more than 50 herbs infused in cold pressed oils like coconut, black sesame, olive, castor, kalonji and more than 50 carrier oils and essential oils.

The duo tried it on themselves for three months. The results were overwhelming as Choudhary noticed a couple of new hair strands on his bald patch.

Later, the oil was distributed among friends and family for testing and with all the positive feedback and demand, the couple launched the brand, which they christened ‘Keshpallav Hair Oil’, in June.

‘Quality is Our Hero’

Choudhary and Shakuntala are very particular about the quality of the oil. They do not add chemicals or artificial contents to enhance the texture or increase the fragrance. This means that it takes more time to prepare the oil.

“It is a tedious and exhausting process which takes around a month to complete. We don’t want to cheat our customers in any way. If we promise 50 herbs, we will add all of them in the required proportions. After our story was made public last month, our orders increased significantly and we received hundreds of calls daily. But instead of giving false assurances, we had to tell them to wait for a month. Our primary goal is not profits or to retain customers. Quality is our hero,” says Shakuntala.

Thanks to this strategy, their social media pages are flooded with heartening messages from customers. One of the first indicators that their oil was working was when a lady in Kolkata personally called Choudhary and thanked him for lessinging her hair fall. She ordered five bottles in one go.

“I was amazed by the results.I thought it was like any other oil but I thought of giving it a try. My brother was also shocked as we all were having severe hair fall post COVID-19. But now after using this only once, I witnessed dramatic results. My hair fall is almost zero,” reads a review on their website.

The startup also offers spray and ortho-CP oil. Their next agenda is to customise the oil as per individual hair needs and perhaps start a factory to meet the rising demand.

For the octogenarians, the experience of running a startup has been positive and satisfying so far. “Working together, seeing our brand flourish and interacting with strangers who are so grateful is surely the best reward for us.” adds Choudhary.

દીકરીના વાળ ખરવાથી 85 વર્ષના દંપતીને 50 જડીબુટ્ટીઓ સાથે હેર ઓઈલ લાવવાની પ્રેરણા મળે છે.

રાધાકૃષ્ણ અને શકુંતલા ચૌધરી સુરત, ગુજરાતના એક નિવૃત્ત દંપતી છે, જેમણે ‘કેશપલ્લવ હેર ઓઈલ’ લોન્ચ કર્યું હતું. તેઓ દાવો કરે છે કે તેમનું તેલ પુરૂષ પેટર્નની ટાલ પડવી, વાળ ખરવા અને અન્ય સમસ્યાઓમાં મદદ કરે છે.

“જો તમને નૃત્ય ગમે છે, તો શું તમે ક્યારેય તેનાથી કંટાળી જશો? મને નથી લાગતું કે ઉંમર, સ્થળ અથવા તો બિન-પ્રાધાન્યક્ષમ સંગીત જેવા પરિબળો આડે આવશે. તેવી જ રીતે, વાળના તેલ વિશે સંશોધન કરવાથી અને બનાવવાથી મને થાક લાગતો નથી,” રાધા ક્રિષ્ન ચૌધરી ઉર્ફે નાનાજી (દાદા) કહે છે.

ગુજરાતના સુરતના 85 વર્ષીય નિવાસી, નિવૃત્તિ પછીની ઉંમરમાં ઉભરતા ઉદ્યોગસાહસિકોની વધતી જતી જાતિમાં જોડાયા છે. તેમની પત્ની શકુંતલા તેમની બિઝનેસ પાર્ટનર છે.

અકાળે ટાલ પડવી, વધુ પડતા વાળ ખરવા, સફેદ થવા અને ડેન્ડ્રફ જેવી સમસ્યાઓના નિરાકરણ માટે ઝેરી રસાયણમુક્ત વાળનું તેલ આપવાના ઉદ્દેશ્ય સાથે આ બંનેએ તેમનું સ્ટાર્ટઅપ ‘Avimee Herbals’ લોન્ચ કર્યું.

સમગ્ર ભારતમાંથી દર મહિને આશરે 200 ઓર્ડર્સ સાથે, નાના સાહસે મોટા પાયે શરૂઆત કરી છે.

ધ ટ્રિગરિંગ પોઈન્ટ

તેમના પારિવારિક વ્યવસાયમાં લગભગ 50 વર્ષ કામ કર્યા પછી, ચૌધરીએ 2010 માં તેમની બીજી ઇનિંગ શરૂ કરવા માટે નિવૃત્તિ લીધી. તેને બહુ ઓછી ખબર હતી કે તેની ઉદ્યોગસાહસિક ભૂલ હજુ સંતોષાઈ નથી.

તેથી 2021 ની શરૂઆતમાં જ્યારે તેમની પુત્રીએ વાળ ખરવાની ફરિયાદ કરી, ત્યારે હાલની હેર ઓઇલ બ્રાન્ડ્સ પર સંશોધન કરવાને બદલે અથવા દરેક અન્ય માતાપિતાની જેમ ઘરેલું ઉપચાર (સામાન્ય રીતે યોગ્ય આહારનો સમાવેશ થાય છે) સૂચવવાને બદલે, ચૌધરી એક પગલું આગળ વધ્યા.

એક સવારે, તેઓ તેમના ડેસ્ક પર બેઠા, કમ્પ્યુટર ચાલુ કર્યું અને વાળ ખરવાના કારણો પર સંશોધન કરવાનું શરૂ કર્યું. તેમની બાજુમાં ઘણા સંશોધન પત્રો અને પુસ્તકો સાથે, તે કારણ માટે સતત કલાકો વિતાવતા.

“મારી પાસે હેર ફોલ માસ્ક, ટ્રીટમેન્ટ, ઓર્ગેનિક ઓઈલ, કિચન હેક્સ સહિતના સેંકડો સોલ્યુશન્સનો બોમ્બમારો હતો પરંતુ તેમાંથી કોઈ પણ મારી શંકાને દૂર કરી શક્યું નથી. અંતે, મેં મારા પોતાના તેલનો ઉપયોગ કરવા અને વિકસાવવા માટે મારી કુશળતા મૂકવાનું નક્કી કર્યું. મોટા થયા પછી હું હંમેશા ઘરના આ નાના પ્રયોગોમાં વ્યસ્ત રહેતો હતો તેથી આ માત્ર બીજી અજમાયશ હતી, અથવા મેં વિચાર્યું,” ચૌધરી કહે છે.

તેમના ખંત અને ધ્યાનથી પ્રભાવિત થઈને શકુંતલા તેમના સંશોધનમાં તેમની સાથે જોડાઈ. તેઓ દરેક સમસ્યાના કારણને ઓળખશે અને વિવિધ ઔષધિઓમાં તેનો ઉકેલ શોધશે.

“તે માનવ શરીરને ડીકોડ કરવા વિશે છે. ઉદાહરણ તરીકે, પુરૂષની ખરતી હેરલાઇન ડાયહાઇડ્રોટેસ્ટોસ્ટેરોન (DHT), એન્ડ્રોજન સાથે જોડાયેલી છે. સ્ત્રીઓ માટે, અપૂરતું એસ્ટ્રોજન વાળ વૃદ્ધિ અસંતુલનનું કારણ બની શકે છે. અમે ઔષધિઓની શોધ કરી જે DHT ને અમુક અંશે અવરોધિત કરી શકે,” ચૌધરી વેપાર રહસ્ય જાહેર કર્યા વિના કહે છે.

તેમના વ્યાપક સંશોધનના આધારે, બંનેએ કોલ્ડ-પ્રેસ્ડ ટેક્નિક વડે હેર ઓઈલ બનાવ્યું. તે નાળિયેર, કાળા તલ, ઓલિવ, એરંડા, કલોંજી અને 50 થી વધુ વાહક તેલ અને આવશ્યક તેલ જેવા ઠંડા દબાવવામાં આવેલા તેલમાં 50 થી વધુ જડીબુટ્ટીઓનું મિશ્રણ છે.

આ બંનેએ ત્રણ મહિના સુધી પોતાના પર પ્રયાસ કર્યો. પરિણામો જબરજસ્ત હતા કારણ કે ચૌધરીએ તેના બાલ્ડ પેચ પર થોડા નવા વાળના સેર જોયા.

બાદમાં, પરીક્ષણ માટે મિત્રો અને પરિવારજનોમાં તેલનું વિતરણ કરવામાં આવ્યું અને તમામ હકારાત્મક પ્રતિસાદ અને માંગ સાથે, દંપતીએ જૂનમાં બ્રાન્ડ લોન્ચ કરી, જેનું નામ તેમણે ‘કેશપલ્લવ હેર ઓઈલ’ રાખ્યું.

‘ગુણવત્તા એ અમારો હીરો’

ચૌધરી અને શકુંતલા તેલની ગુણવત્તા વિશે ખૂબ જ વિશેષ છે. તેઓ રચનાને વધારવા અથવા સુગંધ વધારવા માટે રસાયણો અથવા કૃત્રિમ સામગ્રી ઉમેરતા નથી. મતલબ કે તેલ તૈયાર કરવામાં વધુ સમય લાગે છે.

“તે એક કંટાળાજનક અને કંટાળાજનક પ્રક્રિયા છે જે પૂર્ણ થવામાં લગભગ એક મહિનાનો સમય લાગે છે. અમે અમારા ગ્રાહકોને કોઈપણ રીતે છેતરવા માંગતા નથી. જો આપણે 50 જડીબુટ્ટીઓનું વચન આપીએ, તો અમે તે બધાને જરૂરી પ્રમાણમાં ઉમેરીશું. ગયા મહિને અમારી વાર્તા સાર્વજનિક થયા પછી, અમારા ઓર્ડરમાં નોંધપાત્ર વધારો થયો અને અમને દરરોજ સેંકડો કૉલ્સ મળ્યા. પરંતુ ખોટું આશ્વાસન આપવાને બદલે અમારે તેમને એક મહિનો રાહ જોવાનું કહેવું પડ્યું હતું. અમારો પ્રાથમિક ધ્યેય નફો કે ગ્રાહકોને જાળવી રાખવાનો નથી. ગુણવત્તા અમારો હીરો છે,” શકુંતલા કહે છે.

આ વ્યૂહરચના માટે આભાર, તેમના સોશિયલ મીડિયા પૃષ્ઠો ગ્રાહકોના હૃદયસ્પર્શી સંદેશાઓથી છલકાઈ ગયા છે. કોલકાતામાં એક મહિલાએ અંગત રીતે ચૌધરીને ફોન કર્યો અને તેના વાળ ખરતા ઓછા કરવા બદલ તેમનો આભાર માન્યો ત્યારે તેમનું તેલ કામ કરતું હતું તે પ્રથમ સંકેતો પૈકી એક હતું. તેણે એક જ વારમાં પાંચ બોટલ મંગાવી.

“હું પરિણામોથી આશ્ચર્યચકિત થઈ ગયો હતો. મને લાગ્યું કે તે અન્ય તેલ જેવું જ છે પરંતુ મેં તેને અજમાવવાનું વિચાર્યું. મારા ભાઈને પણ આઘાત લાગ્યો હતો કારણ કે અમને બધાને કોવિડ-19 પછી ગંભીર વાળ ખરતા હતા. પરંતુ હવે આનો માત્ર એક જ વાર ઉપયોગ કર્યા પછી, મેં નાટકીય પરિણામો જોયા. મારા વાળ ખરતા લગભગ શૂન્ય છે,” તેમની વેબસાઇટ પરની સમીક્ષા વાંચે છે.

સ્ટાર્ટઅપ સ્પ્રે અને ઓર્થો-સીપી તેલ પણ ઓફર કરે છે. તેમનો આગામી એજન્ડા વાળની વ્યક્તિગત જરૂરિયાતો અનુસાર તેલને કસ્ટમાઇઝ કરવાનો છે અને કદાચ વધતી માંગને પહોંચી વળવા ફેક્ટરી શરૂ કરવાનો છે.

વૃદ્ધો માટે, સ્ટાર્ટઅપ ચલાવવાનો અનુભવ અત્યાર સુધી હકારાત્મક અને સંતોષકારક રહ્યો છે. “સાથે મળીને કામ કરવું, અમારી બ્રાંડને ખીલતી જોવી અને અજાણ્યા લોકો સાથે વાતચીત કરવી જે ખૂબ આભારી છે તે ચોક્કસપણે અમારા માટે શ્રેષ્ઠ પુરસ્કાર છે.” ચૌધરી ઉમેરે છે.

Urgent Action needed for protecting villages from rising sea levels because of Global Warming (Sea Barrier Conservation Project)

A. Introduction

An extensive portion of the land alongside the sea at Dandi and further south along the coastline in the Kantha Vibhag area has a problem of sea erosion and sea water overflowing into agricultural lands and over time this area has become unusable because of the saltiness of the land (know as Khanjar). This will continue to be a bigger problem because of rising oceans. Seasonal Monsoon flooding is another problem that has to be addressed, flooding in the villages during the rainy season disrupts life and it takes months to recover, proper draining and preparedness for the annual rains will alleviate the issue.

There is now an increasing need to protect the coastline and inner areas of our gams from sea water and erosion, especially because of rising waters due to global warming. Sea Water that has been flowing into the Khanjar areas over the years has been turning good arable farm land into unusable land caused by salty sea water and sea erosion. This can readily be reversed by erecting natural sea barriers where sea water overflows into the land in the form of sand and rock barriers and mangrove vegetation. Fish farmers who currently use sea water can continue doing so by piping sea water to the required pond areas.

Any solutions implemented should take into consideration monsoon rains together with the problems of drainage and runoff of much needed fresh water into the sea, it may be desirable to store this water perhaps in a lake. A feasibility study of all possible solutions should be presented before any project is started, this will all be done with the help and collaboration of the regional government departments.

As part of the Tree Planting Project, thousands of trees should be planted on the Dandi coastline as protection against natural calamities like cyclone, hurricane, Tsunami, etc.

B. Key Issues

– Severe sea erosion problems in some areas on the beachfront and further inland
– Sea levels rising every year due to climate change
– the solution of P.P. Gabions is not suitable
– Protection by using tetrapod mays be part of the solution, though high cost may be an issue
– If protection work is carried out by larger size stones, Gabions, Tetrapods, Beach will loose its
natural beauty
– a study needs to be conducted before a solution is implemented
– requires a permanent long term solution
– time is of the essence, if the government is unable to help with a timely solution then a community funded solution will be the only alternative.

C. Potential Solutions and Opportunities

The one solution is to put up barriers that will prevent sea water from overflowing into land areas, these barriers should be as high as the height of the highest watermark during high tide multiplied by two, this will ensure a permanent long term solution. Routine maintenance has to be planned on a periodic basis, perhaps quarterly to ensure that the barriers are not compromised due to soil erosion and wave action.

Land Reclamation – preventing sea water from overflowing into the area and reversing the saltiness of the Khanjar area will suddenly make hundreds of acres of land available for farming and other non-agricultural uses.

D. Challenges

1. Currently, sea water is used by the fishing industry in ponds, continuation of this supply is necessary by providing piping from the coastal area to the inland ponds on a limited basis.
2. Funding for the project
3. If nothing is done then there is a threat the entre Kantha Vibhag area may be overrun with sea water and it will result in loss of farmland and habitat.

E. Project Implementation

– All work that has to be done should be conducted with the help and permission of the relevant government authorities.
– A detailed project plan and timeline should be established
– Proper project management and controls to be in place

Mandhata Community – Who are We ???

Mandhata Community refers to all the Koli Patel Community people who originated from the Kantha Vibhag area in Navsari District of South Gujarat in India and also those who migrated to various overseas countries.

The first Koli Patel immigrants from Navsari District are recorded to have sailed for South Africa in 1860. Over the years since then many more joined them. Others traveled to Fiji and then to New Zealand as early as 1902. During the War years and later large numbers traveled to East Africa.

Initially they came to work on the plantations and to build roads and railways. As years passed the vast majority of them settled in the countries where they worked. The first immigrants were all young men who went back to their local villages to get married and return to be followed by their wives a little later.

It is these immigrants who identified themselves as Mandhata Community. It is estimated that they number over a hundred thousand. UK has over 40,000 settled mainly in large cities and are now involved in almost all professions and in every industry, as in other countries too.

A vast number of us settled overseas are now sixth and seventh generation. Even the later arrivals boast third and forth generation. Yet we have continued close relationship with our extended families in India. Most of us visit regularly and many have built homes on their ancestral land.

This site highlights the history and life of the Mandhata Patel Community.

MigrationÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â History

Preamble

When in the quiet of the night the question arises in your mind as to who your forefathers were? Where did they come from? How did they live? And you desperately want to explore your roots, this website may help you..

Perhaps the obvious starting point of this inquiry could be our own first hand knowledge of the stories told by our fathers and grandfathers of their experiences in their villages and how they made it to the foreign lands all over the world.

From their own lips we have heard how a few young men from the villages found construction jobs building railways in Surat and other nearby cities. Back in village for holidays their offers of help led more youths to join them. At work they came in contact with other peoples and particularly the English who valued their construction knowledge. This broadened their horizon. When opportunities came their way to work for railways in East Africa, plantations in South Africa and New Zealand many volunteered and packed their bags.

My paternal and maternal grandfathers both came to Mombasa, in East Africa to work on the Railways in 1919/21. They were perhaps among the first there and in their own words life was terrible. They lived in tents and were always in fear of the wild animals. For the first year or two they survived on boiled lentils with some pepper and salt. Later they grew chillies and ginger. Apart from bhajan singing in the dim light of a lantern, other entertainment was zero. Life in South Africa or New Zealand was no different. This was soon after the First World War period. Political power struggle was intense among the European powers and British were digging in wherever they went.

Period prior to the Second World War was the 2nd wave of immigration for our people. Passports were easily available and hundreds of youths leaving their families behind boarded sea-going clippers and left in search of a better life. A number of them perished and for the many who made it, life was very, very hard in every respect. Homesickness gripped many.
