Garima Ahuja and It’s My Getaway

        


It was when Garima booked a few holidays from various online portals and travel agents that she realised how very difficult it was to trust someone with an itinerary which was satisfactory in all aspects. The online companies ended up forgetting the customer once they received the complete payment! That was when Garima decided she needed to start organising holidays for travellers who didn’t want run-of-the-mill packages and were looking for a tailor-made itinerary; one which would provide 100% accountability and availability even after the payment was made.

Garima always knew that she didn’t want to do a 9-5 job but wanted to be an entrepreneur. Life soon gave her the opportunity to start her own venture.

She soon discovered that establishing the business was the simple part. The challenge was to convince people to change their way of travelling. Garima disliked it when people covered eight cities in 15-18 days. She wanted to encourage people to pace their holiday out and make the most of few cities; Quality over quantity. Just when things had started looking up, Covid hit the travel industry hard. The lockdowns ground all travel to a halt. Though things have improved since early 2022, its going to take time for the industry to recover.   

When Garima was choosing a name for her company, she found that most of the names she liked were already taken. After a lot of brainstorming, she liked the name It’s My Getaway. Not only did it convey the message she wanted it to, the domain name was available too.

Garima loves organising events, parties and travel itineraries. Currently her favourite hobby is to spend time with her one-year-old twins and watch them learn something new each day.

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

                     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. Her parents were a huge support for her during this time. Looking back, Anu wonders how she managed and she is proud of the fact that she did. However, just when things were taking off, f

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.
