With an affinity for arts, Seema chose to graduate in Interior design from Mumbai. After spending 4 years in US as a dependent housewife, boredom had struck. Baking had become a hobby since a couple of months and the HCC college in New Jersey was just a walk away from her apartment. The 1 year course in Culinary Arts Baking changed her life. She fell in love with breads and pastries. 6 months of voluntary work at a local bakery gave her insights into the cake business. She had found her calling and Sweet Mantra was born.
