ENTREPRENEUR JOURNEY

      She was just 15. Homeless. And broke. But what she had with her was a gritty determination to survive.
       With just Rs 300 in her pocket, the adolescent left her family over beyond reconciliation issues. From a door to door saleswomen to waitressing and now the owner of Rubans accessories. She has come a long way but in essence, she is still that girl who did not let circumstances get the better her.
       Chinu then investigated an assortment of occupations for more than eight years to guarantee she could oversee all alone. In 2004, She got hitched in Bengaluru, and after a ton of push from her companions, she took an interest in Gladrags Mrs. India Pageant, 2008, where she arrived at the finals. She then entered the modeling industry, following which she began her entrepreneurial journey with Fonte Corporate Solutions, which specialized in corporate merchandising.

       Despite the Indian Jewelry market being vast, She felt that there were no unique designs to meet the demands of the customers. Therefore, She decided to close Fonte Corporate Solutions and founded Rubans accessories in 2014 combining her love for fashion and experience in corporate merchandising. Rubans Accessories was started with a bootstrapped capital of Rs.3 lakhs in 70 square feet in Phoenix Mall, Bengaluru. In 2019, inside a range of five years, the organization has recorded a turnover of Rs.7.5 crore.
        She faced many problems during this successful journey.

If you ask me today Where I got the courage from, I genuinely do not have the answer. I just knew I had to do something. I only had two pairs of clothes and a pair of slippers. The first days I was just lost and scared. It took me two to three days to get my bearings right. I then found a dormitory to live in.
