Entrepreneur Tarishi Jain is definitely someone who would choose handmade items over anything else. In 2015, when she was pregnant with her daughter, her mother-in-law knitted a beautiful frock which she was completely taken by. Skilled in knitting and crocheting during her school days, she decided to take it up again. “I had always loved engaging in these activities but had lost touch over time. Seeing the beautiful frock, I was taken back to the time when I crocheted and made beautiful TV covers, handkerchiefs, and laces. So, I decided to try my hand at it again and in two days, I too had made a beautiful frock for my daughter,” recalls the 34-year-old. Over time, these beautiful handcrafted items started being noticed by her friends and acquaintances who would request her to knit items for their infants. The demand only grew – which pushed Tarishi towards identifying more people who knew the art of knitting and crocheting. She also felt that by starting a venture, she could support several women who could work from the comfort of their homes. This is what led to the birth of ‘Ajoobaa’ in 2018. Ajoobaa is a startup that sells handmade wool crochet and knitted wear that is available for children up to four years. The start-up is based out of Sonipat in Haryana where the operations are carried out actively. After Tarishi founded the start-up, her husband Nivesh too quit his job and started looking after the operations at Ajoobaa. Now, almost over four years later, Ajoobaa gets about 4,000 orders in a month! The start-up, in the last one year, has dressed at least 20,000 children. They are currently working with 112 artisans, mostly homemakers who make these beautiful products by hand. In the past year, Ajoobaa has had an annual turnover of Rs 1.4 Crore despite managing their operations on a small scale.*
