Gifts of Wisdom
As an experienced leader, in her advice to budding aspirants willing to enter the business world in general, and the gift wrapping niche in particular, Kritika aptly says not to get impressed by the fancy packaging that one sees on social media. “Gift packaging is a lot of manual jobs. What you see on social media is an end product,” she adds, “You need your own space to do all the packaging and stock the material.”
