Jaong Company, a delivery and business assistance company was started with a focus to provide quick delivery at your doorstep across India in December 2020. The company is owned by Limanungsang of Mongsenyimti village, who, while working in Delhi, saw how business impacts and improves lives of many people for generations while in Nagaland, youths still rushed for jobs.
Understanding how businesses and start ups struggle in Nagaland, Lima returned back home with a mission to aid in helping start ups and business owners to expand their businesses across the country which in turn would bring about an entrepreneurial culture in Nagaland.
To learn more about his journey and the progress of his company, here’s an exclusive chit-chat with Limanungsang.
MTNews: Thank you for the time, Lima. How would you rate the performance of Jaong Company so far?

Lima: Our services is not just for business owners but also for any individual who needs delivery assistance. We have many customers who either live outside or their wards live in metro cities, and they need their packages like food, books, clothes, and other items delivered. Therefore, we pick them up from their home and deliver them at their doorsteps. Meanwhile, many business owners are linking with us and their business is expanding across India.

Lima: I’m still yet there, but looking back we have come a long way, all because of a strong team with friends and family support.
There are lots of challenges because we are from the first line of entrepreneurs and have to push through a lot of society mindset.
MTNews: Would you encourage more youth to pursue the kind of business you do?
Lima: If we just look around, there are lots of business opportunities that we can do in Nagaland. I would always encourage youths to pursue business.
