In conversation with Amlan:<\/p>\n

Q: From where did you start? How did you come up with the idea of this startup?<\/h3>\n

My journey towards Entrepreneurship started in the summer of 2014, when my friends and I decided to participate in a science exhibition of my school. I wanted to steal the show and do something different that had never been tried in my town\u00a0\u2013 I came up with an idea!\u00a0Given that I was just in school at that time and didn\u2019t have enough money to pay for labour, I worked on constructing the Ghost House along with my friends. Everyone loved the project and the small ghost house that we made. This inspired me to actually convert this small project of mine into a Business Plan.During Durga Puja in the same year, I got my ghost house displayed in the town hall for 3 days. I put an entry ticket of INR 20<\/strong> and it turned into a huge success. I made a clear profit of 17000 .The\u00a0bug of entrepreneurship bit me.\u00a0<\/strong>I thought of re-investing the money elsewhere, rather than splurging on luxury. I searched and contacted clothing companies in Jaipur and invested the whole amount in bringing stocks of clothes to my hometown. I sold my stock there and made a loss of INR 7,000. This loss was very depressing and I felt like I had lost something very integral to me. I thought of stopping all the business and getting back to my regular schedule.\u00a0But I decided to get another stock of clothing worth INR 25,000 from the same dealer and this time I made a net profit of INR 10,000 which boosted my confidence and I started investing my money and increasing it with regular profits.<\/p>\n
