Vancity has been supporting people in our communities since 1946, like local business owners. As part of our Made in Vancouver series spotlighting local creators, we talked to Anomika Gioia, about her childhood history and how it’s brought her early success in business.
“I first discovered popped lotus seeds when I was a little girl growing up in India,” Gioia told Daily Hive.
“My mother used to make it for me at home and it was my favourite snack. I used to eat it almost everyday. When I moved to Canada when I was 13, I noticed that I couldn’t find it anywhere that’s when I first had the idea to create this business when I grew up,” she added.
