There are many other creative things to work on , then why you decided to work on making bows for various use and not anything else?

Bows were something which I saw and for the first time it came to my mind that “WOW”.I was highly inspired by a page in a social network and often thought “I can make it too”. With time my practice became my passion.

How CATS and BOWS born, when and where?

Cats and bows happened to me when I was in my kitchen playing with one of my pet kitten and the first thing struck my mind “why not to combine two cute things together -Cats and Bows”

Why you selected the name CATS and BOWS for your brand name? Are you fond of cats?

Yes, not only fond but I am simply in love with my cats and kittens . Basically I am a nature lover girl. And mainly both the things are my favorite Cats and Bows

When you first realized the fact you are good at Bow making and can take your passion in form of profession?

I started making bows and often wore them to my college and then suddenly one of my friends said “It’s gorgeous, can you make one for me?” I came back home and replied her “Honey am gonna charge u a little for my little bows.

Who is the one who inspired you or rather say supported you to go for making Bows professionally and not keeping restricted to your hobby of making bows?

Making it professional was a bit difficult but the credit goes to my mother , my brother and my passion to make bows. And yes the most credit goes to my bro because he is a perfect Gujrati business man so by my work he realized I should make it professional.

Are you trained professionally in this art or it’s your imagination?

No, I was having a very little knowledge when I started making bows. I am self-trained but Google helped me often. Even pinterest was much friendly.

There are many bow making companies in market what makes your work different from them?

PERFECTION – I won’t say that other companies are not perfect but I would definitely say I am very close to perfection and uniqueness. I believe in self imagination than copying it. That makes CATS AND BOWS different from others .

Is there anyone with you who is supporting you in making these bows ?

No, I craft my bows myself and two things accompany me – my love and my dedication for them.

What sort of investment or cost required in making a Bow and then marketing it?

It requires a very minimal investment but I cannot disclose you the cost because monetary investment depends on the type of bow and its complexity but time and perfection is the real investment I put in .

Who are your targeted customers and for which age group client you make these Bows?

To be very true, I do not have any targeted customer. I craft bows for them who love wearing bows . Recently, I made a big handsome bow for one of my customer pet dog “Bruno”. So, I don’t have any age barrier for customer neither any class barrier.

What are your views about Indian women entrepreneur and their future?

I think women should come forward more and more and join hands together in the field of entrepreneurship. I strongly believe that patriarchal society needs to be changed and there should be a balance between both the sexes.
