Summary
It started when Seema and Sunny were first dating. Sunny tried sending a beautiful bouquet to Seema, but the florist sent her wilted and ugly flowers. The pair realized that something needed to be done about this for consumers, and that’s how Venus ET Fleur started.
Both came from a background of working in family businesses and doing a lot of different roles.
As their relationship continued, so did the business. They keep revisiting the idea of trust between one another in the business.
In Part 1, we hear about the co-founders’ relationship, how it all started, and how they built their business.
