Bonding gifts was initiated with the very thought of revamping our regular gifting ritual. It makes us available some premium quality gifting options like never seen before which will surely make your concerned person immensely ecstatic.
Mr. Ashish Rochwani, the man behind this venture takes us through his journey on how he made bonding gifts a one stop destination to buy personalized gifts for our special person.
Starting point of bonding gifts:
Mr. Ashish is a jubilant personality. From the beginning he loved to care for people and make them feel special by giving them unique personalized gifts that are beyond materialistic feel.
Once he bought 7 explosion boxes as a gift for his sisters on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, which made his sisters immensely happy and content. Seeing this, an idea struck his mind that these customized gifts should be made available to every possible person so that they too can make their loved ones feel special.
He didn’t let that idea faint and gave birth to Bonding Gifts during his second year of MBA in 2016.
And within 6 months of business, they grew from 10 orders to a whopping 250 orders per day.
What is bonding gifts?
All our brainstorming sessions about what to give to our loved ones has finally been put to rest. All thanks to Bonding Gifts, for that.
Bonding Gifts is a unique venture which suffices to all our gifting needs which are beyond those which you get in normal gift shops.
From creative explosion boxes to innovative calendars and wooden frames, bonding gifts have a variety of unique gifting products which they deliver to 25,000 pin codes which is almost all over India.
The attribute that sets them apart is their 100% in house production which helps them in being more cost effective and delivering great quality products. Moreover, they have a Cash on Delivery option which makes the experience of buying more convenient for the customers.
Challenges faced in the journey:
While Answering about how he managed to face challenges, he says, “An entrepreneur isn’t complete without challenges. Every single day, challenges come up and if they don’t, I feel bored.”
And it’s very aptly said. A true entrepreneur has the ability to overcome challenges given at any point of time.
Setting up bonding gifts was no bed of roses. Many problems in different areas of business have popped up in this journey of 4 years. Being a tech friendly person from his early days of schooling, Mr. Ashish tried to solve his problems with IT and tech solutions. He says, “ If we solve problems with labor work or manually, there is a 99% chance that it will pop up again. Instead if we solve it with technology, it is fixed for a lifetime.”
Mr. Ashish in his college days worked out problems that appeared in his factory by sitting in ongoing lectures using ‘AnyDesk’ within minutes. Various other problems he solved by installing software and applications that satisfy the needs.
Future is surely Bright!
The bar is set high by Mr. Ashish for future goals of Bonding Gifts. They wish to go international in the coming years and make their venture the best among others. To make the purchase more convenient and their products reach a wider audience, they also aim towards developing a fully fledged app for Bonding Gifts in near future.
More than achieving goals, it is the journey that matters to him. He says, “ There is no rigidness to achieve goals. We will reach to our end goals with smiles and fun.” Such is the personality of Mr. Ashish.
Road to Vision development:
The way Mr. Ashish shaped and grew Bonding Gifts has only been possible because he had a clear vision in front of him from day one. To help develop a vision, he insists youth to come forward and take charge of things, be it at any level. Try to enhance your leadership qualities by reading business oriented books or self-help.

A message to all ‘to be entrepreneurs’ :

Executing the idea holds more importance. According to him do not waste your time in overthinking, weighing pros and cons and choosing the right idea.
