Charu Batra & The Bliss Quotient

             

It was when Charu was pursuing her training in early education, after being a mom and taking a sabbatical because of Covid, that she was given tasks of making crafts and presenting the same every week. During this time, she came across many art forms which captured her interest. Charu started trying her hand at these creative tasks. A few days later, she posted some of her work on her Instagram page and there was no looking back. What started as a hobby from a fascination for handmade things, soon turned into a compact homegrown business.

Charu wanted a name which would represent the joy she felt every time she created something. ‘The Bliss Quotient’ was inspired by the idea of 'following your bliss'; representing the tiny things we do out of passion and love which give us happiness. 

The biggest challenge that Charu has faced and continues to face is that of time. With a toddler at home and the demands of a new growing business, she had to figure out how to juggle her time between home and work.

Charu loves baking, teaching and writing; she was an education researcher and content developer before she had her son. She has also worked for organisations like the British High Commission, Taylor and Francis, and Fore School of Management.

Charu has a 3.5-year-old son.

Ankita Gupta- The Person Behind New Age Mompreneurs

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

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.
