Sakshi Jain
Cute little Sakshi is a student of design and communication and runs an online gift store under the name ‘Friends and Future’. She says that it was just a vague idea but became a turning point in her and her friend Riddhi’s life since her school days. Talking to us about the online store she adds, “Choosing the right gift for your loved one can be difficult, particularly when you’re shopping for somebody who seems to have everything already! The last thing you’d probably want to do is spend money on a gift that’s going to sit on a shelf, unused. But with us, you can get them something special, unique and one of a kind, for every occasion.”

Vishnu Nair
The idea was to create a page on Instagram where we can regram the beautiful frames of Udaipur which were clicked by the localites and travelers and showcase it to the world. Vishnu Nair, the founder of Instaudaipur, studied at the Kendriya Vidyalaya and completed his college from UCCMS, Udaipur. Currently, heading Indian Operations for “Indiapictures”, he left his 3 years old job in Banglore and moved to Delhi to attain his passion.
He says that even though he is a Malayali, born and bought up in Udaipur, he always wanted to do something for his city. He adds, “Udaipur is one place where I can pay to die for. I mean this is a place where I can explore a new spot every day. I can never get bored of this place.” He gives special thanks to his team Jai, Mithun, Ronak, Aman, Jaideep, Kashish, Nukul, Hardik, Shehdil, Varsha, Manisha, Riya, and the cofounders Jai Soni and Mithun Vyas who help him in some of the other ways.
