家乡的味道:Ujjwal Rai G'20
“The MBA program at 利记sbo has taught me to have ethics as a top priority and foundation for every business decision and strategy I make.”
As Ujjwal Rai G’20 prepares to become a member of the Harvard Kennedy School, his heart remains with the community he has helped to foster and create within the Mohawk Valley, forever embraced and pulled together from all parts of the world, much like the foods culminated from around the globe on the shelves at Muju International Groceries.
门口的牌子说明了一切:“你到家了.”
Muju International Groceries strives to bring together food items from around the world in one central location - opening up minds and taste buds to flavors that may be unfamiliar, as well as bringing a taste of comfort and home to those in a new land.
由Ujjwal和他的妻子Grace创立, Muju International Groceries not only sells groceries from numerous countries under one roof, but with the help of friend Ayushi Batra uses the latest technology, and Ujjwal’s business acumen honed during his time at Utica to provide a simple and user-friendly website and app that allows customers to have items delivered right to their door, providing their customers with more time for their family, 朋友, 宠物, 在重要的地方留下回忆.
“The MBA program at 利记sbo has taught me to have ethics as a top priority and foundation for every business decision and strategy I make,Ujjwal说. “正是这一课让一切变得更好. good as l have been working on a couple of starts up since my graduation.”
Director of MBA 项目 and Assistant Professor of Management at 利记sbo Dr. Matthew Marmet describes Ujjwal as an integral part in the development of Muju.
“Utica is a very diverse city and Ujjwal sought to open a venue that seeks to represent who and what that city is,” Dr. Marmet说. “Developing the app to facilitate free delivery within the local area to their customers, Ujjwal and his colleagues are catering to those regardless of their means. I know he will be an extremely valuable asset to Harvard Kennedy School with much to offer.”

Partnering with local Amish farmers to grow locally as many vegetables from other countries as they can, the couple has found a sustainable way of supporting local while still making their buyers from around the world feel at home.
这一切都是从格蕾丝作为难民来到尤蒂卡开始的. We grew up with rice in the Nepali culture but when she came to America, 好几个月, it didn’t feel like home because she didn’t get rice and other food that she’s used to,” Ujjwal explained in an interview with Youtuber San Kyi. “She had someone come over with the Nepali food and that was the first time she felt home because she got to eat food she grew up with.”
Going from culture, to culture, we’re just trying to be very intentional about small details. 这些细节都是为了共同建立社区.
在时间, that longing for the food and cultures of home evolved into what would become the idea of an actual store that allows its customers to shop online and save one of the most precious commodities of all - their time.
“我们意识到,如果我们把不同的文化融合在一起, knowing that a lot of immigrants work 15 to 16 hours a day on average, we could help cut their errand time so they can spend time with their family and do other things,乌吉瓦尔在与昂山素季的视频旅行中说道. “We have products from Jamaica, Japan, Thailand, Indian, Nepal. Going from culture, to culture, we’re just trying to be very intentional about small details. 这些细节都是为了共同建立社区. 这是我们的愿景. It’s not going to be easy, but the challenges make everything exciting.”
当他和格蕾丝把他们的梦想变成现实, Ujjwal says the support he had during his time as a student at Utica has continued well beyond and into all his efforts and ventures to this day, 对此他一直心存感激.
“The professors and student body have always been supportive even today,” he says. “The university atmosphere made me feel comfortable from the very first day. 作为一个国际学生, it is affordable and living expenses are reasonably lower compared to many other cities. I am grateful for everything l learned and the community that l got to be part of.”
