Prabhuji is a first-generation entrepreneur engaged in the bakery business. Prabhuji is the proprietor of B & Sons – a Mumbai based concern manufacturing bakery products, confectioneries and sweets. The products are manufactured and sold in wholesale to retailers under a brand name "Bread & More". Products were essentially sold to retailers who would then sell the final customer. Since the year 2020 – the next generation of Prabhuji's family started participating in the business. The new generation is technologically aware and suggested direct sales to customers through omni channel (online sales). The bakery brand was only known locally. However, due to sales online and due to the good quality of the products – the bakery product's started gaining traction nationally. Demand for the products increased. As a result, there was a need to increase manufacturing capacity. The new members in the business suggested borrowing or setting up a Special Purpose Vehicle for the new manufacturing unit. Private Equity players can then invest in the Special Purpose Vehicle. Prabhuji is a conservative businessman. While not being average to expansion – Prabhuji suggests minimizing the need for external finance while relying more on internal accruals.
