It was my turn (Tanusri from Winningstree) to speak after Monika and I spoke about my journey as a 9 to 5 person doing her job and being happy about it until she decided to call it quits and not be part of the rat race. Sitting back at home I remembered that I could write as complemented by my friends and thus began my journey with the pen. After a while, I decided to write on my own terms and thus created my blog which you all are reading now! 😊

It was Sakshi Gupta’s turn to talk about her venture. She stated that life showed her a lot of downs but she stood back strong facing with her sunny side up. An introvert, she started as a digital marketer and then went on to start her own chain of wooden furnishings. She calls her venture ‘whispering woods’ and her collection ranges from wooden home décor, furniture, and giftable items. This versatile girl was sweet and shy yet powerful and determined at the same time.

Next in line was Meena Kapoor who spoke about her brand Tizzlers. She was in Australia for quite some time and then coming back tried her luck with various businesses. Someone in her family made chutneys and pickles and she thought of branding the same, thus came up her brand Tizzlers. Her lemon chutney is the best in the market and as I write this I’m already salivating for more. Having finished one bottle in about 15 days, I would recommend Tizzlers by Meena Kapoor and her lemon chutney to everyone.
