Which business is popular in your state? Did you know about the perfume capital of India? I recently spent 4 days in UP's Kannauj and was completely mesmerised to see how perfume is made here. In my short trip, I got to know: - 80% of this city's population is involved in making perfume. - This perfume is made using a 5000-year-old technology. As old as the Harappan civilisation! - This perfume is also used in making: toothpaste, pan masala, meat masala, basically everything we eat! I am so excited to share my experience with you. Through videos like this, I aim to draw people’s attention to local businesses across India. ********** Credits: Producer and Researcher: Varun Pandey Videographer and Editor: Ankit Bisht Thumbnail Designer: Aanchal Verma Animator: Krishna Kumar Kaushal Community Manager: Dorsy Yadav ********** About me: KK Create is a channel run by Kavya Karnatac.
