Q1) Tell us a little bit about your start-up and your journey, please;

I started my Startup Journey recently this year only. As I studied the women items market and their day to day struggles.

And wishing to give a new experience to my customer’s no matter they are boys or girls. Anybody can do shopping from our platform for a wide range of products. And many new features will be coming soon.

Q3) What was your key driving force to become an entrepreneur?

I have a dream of becoming a businessman since my school days. And starting a big business is not possible for me but to have a start from small is very much needed.

So I am positive about the concept and want to give my customers satisfied with the service and experience of hassle-free online shopping.

Q4) How did you come up with the name for your business/startup?

Emotions and money are two different things. You can’t be emotional with business. Business runs on numbers and logic. Life runs on emotions. I am emotional towards my family, friends, and my team.

Q16) What piece of advice would you give to college graduates who want to become entrepreneurs??

Just focus on your idea and keep on working. No matter who is around laughing or making fun of you.

Find an adult mentor. A responsible adult knows what is best for your well-being. Even if you have to sacrifice your reputation with your friends, draw close to an adult who you know has your best interest at heart.

Like I have found my mentor Bhavpreet Soni early in my life. Bhavpreet Soni has helped me whenever I feel down or I got stuck some where.
