My Story:Part 2 - The RISE & The FALL We stepped in when entrepreneurship in India wasn’t cool or trending. No spotlight, no hype just belief. With ₹20k, we filtered through countless ideas until print-on-demand struck. It was everywhere, but it had potential. We hustled day and night trying marketing tricks, testing promotions, learning from failures. Within 3 months, we weren’t just surviving we were thriving. Profits started coming in. Our proudest milestone? Selling 15,000 units of a single design using nothing but creativity, timing, and smart strategy. We felt UNSTOPPABLE. But then COVID struck. Markets crashed. Orders froze. We had just sunk a massive investment into high-end machinery. It was risky but necessary... or so we thought. Now, it felt like a mistake. Uncertainty loomed. We had six months of runway left, but no clarity. It felt like the end. Yet, something was still burning inside us, whispering that it wasn’t over JUST YET... Stay tuned for Part 3 - THE NEW DAWN

WFH took on a whole new meaning for me recently. Not Work From Home… but Work From Hospital. A few weeks back, my mother-in-law was admitted, and I had to stay with her at the hospital. For 3–4 days, my “office” was a plastic chair beside her bed, w

I still remember that night — I was sitting in my small workspace, frustrated and tired, wondering if I should shut everything down. Then a notification popped up. "Hi, I saw your work. Can you build a website for my business?" I thought it was just

This is what we learned after launching without being ‘ready.’ We missed four launch dates. Then finally decided — 10th July. At 12 a.m. that night, my team told me: “We can’t launch.” We were done. Chaos everywhere. No one slept. We were in call
