Name : Rakhi Shrivastava
Business name: VIU NATURALS
How you started the business?:
Viu Naturals was started after the birth of my younger son. Home Made Remedies were my forte. I used to prepare hand made products like face packs, hair cleansers and hair oils for my friends & relatives who often teased me of not taking these products to retail level or branding myself / my art. Thus, with all my courage & support of my family - VIU Naturals, initially, pushed off with Hand Made Soaps and Hair Solutions & now have reached to 52 products catering to all the personal care need of everyone. And Viu Natural is not gender constraint anyway - neither by culture nor by products.

Your support system: My biggest support system has been FAMILY which includes all my customers. My customers have always supported me all the times - it was during the covid, even at time when my hand made product has some quality difference but all of them stood like wall as they knew that I was learning and Viu Naturals was building up. Biggest thanks to all of them for everything that could not be put in words.
Want to convey thanks for your success to anyone :
Well, If someone is to be specially thanked for me reaching here - then - it should be my kids. They had been a constant support, irrespective of their age - they hold on to each other / they supported, took care of each other at that age when a child need a mother the most. Their role in my success may not be visible but it is in the soul of my journey.
Your suggestion to other women: It is not enough to be strong only - have courage to decide, move, fall and again get up to move ahead..
