How I Started And Nurtured My Startup..!
Coming from a service class family, I had no idea of business. I had no one to turn to for the basics. I got in touch with some consultants; none of them knew the entire process of getting all the approvals. We were very clear, we did not want to start on the wrong foot, and we wanted to be 100% compliant. I did face many challenges at various stages e.g. in just few months of launch, the competition tried to pull us down, however the issue was resolved soon. Teacupsfull now is a fully registered brand. Challenges do prop up many times, however the key is to stay positive and never give up. There is always a solution to every problem.
