Meenakshi and Nitin perfectly complement each other and form a balanced team. Their story is a classic case of ‘When Biology met Math ‘or more specifically ‘When Pharmacy Met Engineering’. The union of these two fields gave birth to ‘Konkan Sampanna’ or now also known as ‘Sonkan’. Their individual interests in the progress of our nation encouraged them to come together and nurture the idea of starting a venture to boost the growth and development of small communities and help them sustain and live happier and healthier lives.
