What is the success story of your startup in your own words? 
Though doing business in India is still a hard nut to crack & being an honest and loyal business it is even more depressing to see the wrong business getting more benefits than the deserving one. But still fighting against all the odds and finding our way towards our destination is always what we are working for. My inspiration is the people & family associated with us & when we see so much responsibility on us we always try to fight much harder with all the positive approach. My mantra is to “Never Quit”. Now a day’s giant marketplaces are selling everything (not any specialization) & flooding the markets with more than 100% cashback, impractical discounts & what not. At Wellness Monk we strictly focus on Heath related products especially organic products.

We are also incorporating imported & revolutionary products on our portal, it not only hikes the standards but also give us the monopoly in the market.

We are having a good & consistent vision regarding our goal & our ambitious team is all geared up for the competitiveness and challenges in the prevailing market, we want to be at the top notch is our horizontal & that within a period of 2 to 3 years. We want many mergers and associations in the field of health & wellness.

Further we planned to hire more & more skills and talented candidates.
