Would you trade a prestigious corporate salary for a boiling pot of wax? Shruti Kundan did exactly that, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. After seven years at giants like TCS and Accenture, the Gurugram-based innovator launched "Boholette" in 2023. What started as a creative hobby making "laddoo" candles quickly pivoted into a strategic B2B powerhouse when Shruti identified a massive gap in the market: affordable, low-minimum-order packaging for small businesses. By solving a problem she faced herself, she empowered thousands of women entrepreneurs who couldn't afford bulk factory orders.

Today, her venture has evolved from a home-run operation to a 1,200-square-foot industrial warehouse in Pataudi, complete with high-tech machinery. Clocking an impressive ₹38 lakh in revenue by February 2026, Shruti has proved that corporate skills like financial modeling and operations are the ultimate secret weapons for startup success. With plans to hit the ₹1 crore mark next year, Boholette is a testament to the power of resilience and market-driven innovation. Her story is a wake-up call for anyone sitting in a cubicle dreaming of more—sometimes, the brightest light comes from the candles you make yourself.
