We caught up with CEO and founder SONAL KHIMJI to find out more.
Congrats on Lanos! What inspired you to launch the business?
Starting Lanos has been like a dream come true for me. I’ve always wanted to create something meaningful and fun. After a three-year career break, and when my son left Singapore for university, I decided to become an entrepreneur. I used my experience to source beautiful products from suppliers overseas, and curate them onto a gifting platform. And so Lanos was born.
