When did you launch the business?

October 2020

What led you to where you are today?

My passion for starting a business that is cruelty-free and at the same time offers a healthier alternative to Indian consumers.

What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey? 

I wish I had the right set of a network to grow my business before I started on my entrepreneurial journey, this journey without the right network becomes very difficult.

What is the most difficult decision you've had to make regarding your business so far? 

We got various funding proposals where the investor wanted to take up majority stakes of the company but in return would have provided great funding and support, I decided to not go ahead with such deals because Milkinoats was just a baby and someone coming in with a great business mindset only will not help in nurturing the baby well.
