"A ratio of woman founders let go off their dreams after becoming a mother but that's not the case with Kunj," she says.

She was only 14 years old when she learned the biggest lesson of her lifeto always utilize her time, and that's why she started assisting her father in the business at the same time.
She fell in love with it instantly and today, she is at the top of her game."
