Ferns N Petals was established in 1994 and flower bouquet delivery was the first and only thing that the company was into. From just single flower shop in Delhi during 1994, Ferns N Petals is now the largest florist chain with more than 320 stores (and still counting) across all the major cities and towns of India. We spoke to Akila Chandrasekhar, a successful Ferns N Petals franchisee based out of Coimbatore who is operating two successful outlets and is keen to add more stores of the brand under her umbrella IN the future.

BLOSSOMING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

How has been your association with the brand Ferns N Petals?

I am operating FNP flower franchise for the past 13 years and four years back when FNP Cakes franchise was launched, I grabbed the opportunity to start it in my town and it’s been 4 years now and the response is amazing. Our association with FNP has been full of learning. In fact, I would rather describe it as a journey of self discovery. It gave me the confidence to become an entrepreneur being a housewife and mother of two boys. The journey so far has been very constructive one and it was always smooth sailing because of team support that includes family and work place 

Kindly share your entrepreneurial journey.
