Starting of a journey that was to change my life forever
I moved to Delhi from my hometown Saharanpur when I was just 20 years old. I wanted to experience life in a metro city and explore options for my career development. I took up a course in hospitality and made this the excuse for my shift. My parents supported my dream to live an independent life.  I took up a job in a BPO for a couple of years and enjoyed my stint.  I found my love in the same company and soon got married. As soon as I got married, I got to know about the unstable financial position of the new family. This was concerning but I decided to step up and support my husband. Undeterred by my in-laws objection, I convinced my husband to help me find an opportunity that I could work on from home. We researched and found E-commerce to be a very lucrative opportunity. This was a new world for me as neither of us had a business background. We took a leap of faith and registered ourselves on Snapdeal. Little did we know that this was the starting point of a journey that was going to change our lives forever!

We started with uploading 10-15 products in deodorants and perfume category.  Snapdeal gave us the confidence that we could scale this. Their support was very critical for a business that was taking its first step. There were questions, doubts, unpredictability and anxiety but Snapdeal’s belief in our aspirations gave us the conviction. It really matters when you can hold a hand and move forward on a road you have no idea about. Snapdeal has been that friend for us. They work like guides who are closely tracking our business performance.

Over the years, our assortment has extended to categories like cosmetics, beauty and hair. Today, we have more than 500 products listed on the site.
