Have you ever received excellent business advice from a Chachi?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Hemlata Pal, a 54-year-old entrepreneur, also known lovingly by her customers as \u2018Chachi\u2019(Hindi for aunt),<\/strong> does not believe that age or time should be a barrier to setting up your dream business, and she is walking the talk with her beautiful small business – Chachi Cross Stitch!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We got in touch with Chachi and her niece aka social media manager Kimi to share her wisdom with the world!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rediscovering a lost love for cross stitching\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It all began when the lockdown was in full swing. Hemlata and her niece were going through her 20+-year-old artworks including paintings and hand embroidered cross stitch pieces. Hemlata\u2019s niece, Kimi noticed her artwork and immediately saw a great opportunity!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe asked me \u2018Chachi, why don\u2019t you start cross stitching again?\u2019 – and hence, the name chachi cross-stitch. On the very same day, she opened an Instagram account<\/a> for me and uploaded the photos of my old artwork. There has been no looking back since then.\u201d – Hemlata Pal\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is how Hemlata began to cross-stitch once again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 business lessons every entrepreneur can learn from Chachi Cross Stitch<\/h2>\n

#1 – Start small with orders: Focus on family gifts and work on custom orders<\/h3>\n

Thanks to her niece, Hemlata began working on new designs right away, mostly inspired by the people and places around her. For example, during the rainy season, she cross-stitched on \u2018Barkha Bahar\u2019<\/strong> with an umbrella, and made hoops for her sister in law\u2019s newly born boy \u2018Yug\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
