What made you choose this type of business?

Charu Gupta: Being a professional interior decorator since 2006, I met people who wanted to redo /refurbish their homes but didn’t have the time.

Thus this idea came up. So, I started a short term course for people who want to learn something about design and easy tips to make their home look pretty.
