Wasantha Kumari took part in a workshop on how to make incense sticks. Soon she started making incense sticks at home and sold them to neighbours and small shops closeby. When she faced financial difficulties to continue the business, she approached Commercial Bank for a loan. With the financial support Wasantha Kumari’s incense business grew. She then decided to diversify into the spice business and got another loan from Commercial Bank to buy the machines required to grind spices.
