Prachi Kumar and Walk-In Closets

 

                         

Prachi always had an interest in getting customized clothes stitched for herself. From choosing the fabric to selecting the designs and patterns to approving the final product; she loved every aspect of seeing how raw fabric was converted into beautiful clothing. Eventually she began exploring the idea of starting her own venture in this field. Clothes were something that were always in demand and more and more people wanted to customize what they wore rather than pick it off the rack.

Five years ago, Prachi decided to take the plunge and start her business. She took a year off in between for her delivery but the urge to get back into the thick of business never left her. She also was determined to be a mompreneur because it allowed her to be a hands-on mom.

One of the biggest challenges Prachi faced was that she was new to this field. Apart from her own experience in buying and getting clothes made, she had no idea about the logistics and nitty-gritty involved in establishing a business. Learning social media was another challenge which she worked hard to overcome. Doing extensive research and spreading the word among friends and family finally helped her to market her brand. Today, Walk-In Closets has a range of customers, who further recommend the brand in their friend’s circle.

Walk-In Closets is now a multi-designer online store offering products ranging from Western wear to footwear to accessories.

Prachi wanted a name which sounded chic and at the same time conveyed clothing. Walk-In Closets is something which every woman could identify with and hence she chose this name.

Prachi is passionate about designing clothes, something which is clearly reflected in her products. Even though the business is now established and running smoothly, Prachi ensures she is involved in every aspect of it. She personally takes responsibility for what is created for her clients.

She has a son who is 2.7 years and who keeps her on her toes!

Ankita Gupta started Mamma’s Kitchen to provide healthy and tasty baked goods to people across all ages. Being a big foodie, she’s always had an interest in cooking and baking. In pre Covid times, Ankita loved hosting parties and get-togethers and was used to cooking and baking desserts for house parties which sometimes went up to 30-40 people. Experimenting with food is her forte. She would pick a new recipe every time and tweak it, replacing the unhealthy ingredients with healthy ones. Needless to say, her guests loved her efforts and the food. When Ankita was trying to conceive, she discovered she had PCOS which was hindering the process. It was then that she switched completely from junk food to healthy cooking alternatives. When her twins were born, she followed the one year no sweet and salt rule for them but the entire family has a sweet tooth and Ankita didn't want the kids to miss out on the delights of desserts. This is where her healthy baking journey began. Ankita s

                     Anu had always been inclined towards sketching, drawing and painting since her childhood while her mother was inclined towards clothes and fashion. So, it was no surprise when Anu ended up taking fashion design as a subject in 11 th grade. Anu always had a lot of questions in her mind. What was she here? What was the purpose of her life? What could she do which would be different from the norm? She had a deep desire to prove something to herself. After completing her graduation, Anu took admission in Pearl Academy of Fashion for a one-year postgraduate course in Fashion Merchandising. Alongside this she started her own workshop at Shahpur Jat. Anu handled everything; from finding the place for the workshop to setting up a team of tailors, to buying machines and raw materials.

Chitwan Mohan and Cuddles_by_ChitwanMohan

                      From the time she completed her fashion course at Parsons, Chitwan knew that designer clothing was the line she wanted to get into. She started with womenswear in 2011 and then ventured into menswear in 2016. Whenever Chitwan visited the fabric markets for men’s fabrics, she would find herself staring at the cute kids’ fabrics and would wish that she could do something in that line. She would pick up fabrics for her son’s nightwear and shirts and they turned out really well; every time he wore them, her family would encourage her to consider venturing into this as a side business and gauge the response. Chitwan began small in 2020 and then there was no looking back. This isn’t a side business anymore. Chitwan is extremely passionate about it and doing kids' wear in particular makes her extremely happy. Moreover, she has discovered a staunch support system in the form of her mommy clients. It helps that Chitwan considers entrepreneurship to be in her blood.
