What was the Purpose of starting this Business? What issue did it want to solve? Goa started its tourism Industry because of its natural Beauty, white sand Beaches and the Hospitable People. It was never an organized sector, Local People defined hospitality by allowing the Tourists stay in their homes and provide them Local Cuisine. Over the years this industry grew and the locals expanded to make Bamboo or  Bamboo Chatai huts in their compounds to meet the needs/ demands of the Tourism Industry. In my visit to beaches at Palolem and Agonda, I was surprised to see that this Homestay structures made of bamboo /bamboo chatai had no Esthetic , no Toilets attached and absolutely no safety, I was wondering how People could stay or even pay for this kind of structures. We felt that the industry will die its natural death if change does not set in, and I set my self to read through the internet looking for solution for something that would be esthetically pleasing with an attached toilet and is completely safe to stay in . We had a vision to see a change in the Industry, to see that Tourist experience the Beauty of our Beaches and enjoy comfortable stay and recommend Goa to their friends and family allowing the industry Grow and be sustainable.

Must say, that all thanks to Father God be the credit for providing divine favors and wisdom to deal with all of this situation , maneuvering each situation was a task. Promotion of the product: It took me 1.5 year to sell our first 7 units, as it was difficult for people to believe and invest  from a bamboo/chatai huts to proper cottages, but building relation and convincing them try, help me to move in sales. The same clients would bring in referral for me being my brand ambassadors. Procurement: most of my prefab before production in Goa, was imported and a couple of time I have had bitter experiences which allowed me to learn process and start manufacturing in India. GST was a great concern it blocks a lot of Capital in source of procurement, with the favor of God we could arrange to extended credit period of payment . issue of licenses of CRZ or Panchayat area this has been a challenge, but in recent time being a part of the shack owner association has helped in fighting in through the courts. For the Panchayat areas the understanding and learning the Panchayat Raj Act book helped us in assisting the local authorities to understand the provision available for wooden Temp structures.

Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? SWATI SAINI: I am qualified engineer with PGDM top up and was basically into International Sales & marketing of Heavy cables. This turn towards wooden things was bit sudden. Left my job because of some reasons at office and then thought of working as individual cable consultant for manufacturers(I am still doing that), besides that I met few friends who owned some modular furniture showrooms and they wanted me to work with them as partner. Initially I was like, this is just wood which can be sold by anyone but gradually I realized that it also had many creative & technical prospects so I tried to sell a modular kitchen to one of my client and it cracked. During this transaction I learned many things about modular and hardware/fitting and there is how this journey started. Great Companies: What are the various services and products provided by your company? SWATI SAINI: We are into designing, consultation and execution of modular and non-modular furniture which includes kitchens, wardrobes, cabinetry units, beds, chairs, sofa, space savers, foldable and any type of furniture that you can think of in your home or office space.

Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? SWATI SAINI:Yes, challenges were there as I am not from same background. I am qualified engineer with PGDM top up and was basically into International Sales & marketing of Heavy cables. This turn towards wooden things was bit sudden. I am not a person who can sell product without complete knowledge of the same, so it was very uncomfortable for me initially to cope up with the situation but yes, learning and trainings always work. So, this is how  I can advise my clients or anyone for a particular product aesthetically as well as technically. Great Companies: What do you think are the few main things which are most important for a successful business? SWATI SAINI: Your commitment is very important. If you are committed, things happen eventually, you will come across the ways through which you can achieve your goal. Bhagwad Geeta also explains, if you have started with all your will power.....then it will definitely happen to you.
