Sneh Mehtani adds another feather in her cap
WSN Network 

EDISON (NJ): Popular restaurateur Sneh Mehtani was recently conferred the International Women’s Entrepreneurial Challenge – IWEC – award at a glittering function held at the Harvard Club in NYC. The awards, organized by IWEC are a joint project initiated by the Chamber of Commerce of Barcelona in association with the Indian Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI-FLO) and the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce (MCC).

Mehtani came to the US like every other immigrant with dreams to make it big in America. She started her career with a Diploma in Cosmetology from North Carolina and an aspiration to make it big.  After doing a variety of interesting jobs, ranging from Airline sales rep, make up artist, Sneh got the opportunity to open her first restaurant in 1983. Having operated the Moghul Restaurant for ten years in Manhattan, she decided to build more restaurants in New Jersey. Her illustrious career was soon dotted with five other gastronomical heavens.

"My motivation, my passion, has always been giving strength, giving good to my community," she says. Mehtani waves a hand in the air, as if that doesn't capture what she means. "Sometimes I lose the words," she says.

Three women from the US were chosen and Mehtani was the only Asian Indian to receive this distinction.
