BLOSSOMING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

How has been your association with the brand Ferns N Petals?

I am operating FNP flower franchise for the past 13 years and four years back when FNP Cakes franchise was launched, I grabbed the opportunity to start it in my town and it’s been 4 years now and the response is amazing. Our association with FNP has been full of learning. In fact, I would rather describe it as a journey of self discovery. It gave me the confidence to become an entrepreneur being a housewife and mother of two boys. The journey so far has been very constructive one and it was always smooth sailing because of team support that includes family and work place 

Kindly share your entrepreneurial journey.
