Shivaranjini, a simple middle-class Indian woman, is living her American Dream though she is not a STEM professional with a US work visa<\/strong>. Her key to unlocking the American Dream for a happy life thousands of miles away from India is her passion for cooking \u2013 which she inherited from her parents in Karnataka. Ranjini\u2019s journey as a businesswoman from her small home kitchen is an inspiration for other Indians, mostly on H4 visa, in the US.<\/p>\n Born in the family of cooks in Davanagere, the heart of Karnataka, Shivaranjini grew up learning and admiring cooking as a labor of love.
