How I became a florist is in itself a story.
The year was 1970 and my uncle Mr.Rajinder Singh, who was a young man and had been trying his luck in various business. He was not successful yet. Then he started as a florist by just two buckets of flowers in Defence colony market. In those days, there were only two three florist shops (in 5 star Hotels) in Delhi. Slowly his business grew. He started getting regular clients. And then in 1982 came Asiad Games when there was huge demand for flowers. By then my uncle was supplying flowers to the 5 star hotels too. He did big business during Asiad Games and never looked back. Today his son looks after this established and successful business.
In 1993, my uncle started importing flower bulbs from Holland. He needed a qualified person to handle imports and growing flowers. He chose me and I moved to Delhi. I was a young man with lots of energy and managed the work. All was well till 1997 when these flower bulbs were available in plenty in India. There was no need for import. Due to this,I had not much work. It was then that I decided to do what I liked the most, I opened a flower shop in Delhi.
And never looked back.
