What does your company do? Nurturing Green Retail Pvt Ltd is into Green Gifting & Green Decor via Gift a Plant.Founded in: 2009 You are an entrepreneur because....?The idea to create value in something always fascinated me to do different things. I never saw myself working in a 9-5 job and couldn't work under anyone. Plus I am from a business family and through out my childhood saw the pros & cons of an entrepreneur.I chose this because Mother Earth was always close to my heart & looking at the depleting resources & wastages, I always wanted to develop a business which was capable of changing mindsets. I strongly believed that gifting a Plant is far better than giving monotonous gift
Your most critical moment while starting out?When I decided to come back to India leaving a cushy job and instead of joining my dad's business decided to start something as new as this. The emotional void and the initial starting up challenges took a toll on me and was a big challenge.
Did you Goof up?One of the errors which I made was to start the business without much planning the future working capital. I didn't plan for min 6 months of outside sustainability before venturing into NG.
