COIMBATORE: Tarunika Jagadeesh and Divea Kabilan, who were pursuing BTech in fashion technology at the PSG College of Technology, were a little disappointed when the lockdown was imposed. They feared the pandemic situation would delay their plans to launch a new apparel brand. However, they utilized the time for an online course on styling and brand management and studying the market. Once they gained the confidence, the 19-year-old girls presented their plans before their parents in July and the latter supported them with an initial investment of Rs 25,000 each, which they said had to be returned in a year. But the girls earned enough to return the amount in a little more than a month. That isn’t all! They have sold products worth more than Rs 5 lakh till date.
