I spilled coffee on my clothes and there I found my idea of Start-up.
I couldn’t find another shirt of the same size when I spilled coffee on my shirt, and there I realized that there would be hundreds of women who have to face the same problem. I carried a survey on more than 250 women and I started my lifestyle start-up “Karyah”. We provide 18 sizes to our customers. – Nidhi, Ajmer

 

In the era of recession, I started my Start-up.
Banks were closing, and people were getting fired from their jobs when I started my venture.
If you want to start a big business, work on a small venture first.
