Wanting to do something to make carrying her baby closer to heart a lot easier for her and for her newborn, graphic designer turned food blogger and photographer, Chinmayie Bhat, decided to create the perfect baby carrier and that’s how Soul Slings came to be.
One of Bengaluru’s most popular food bloggers, the entrepreneur used to write prolifically at Love Food Eat until a few years ago. The blogging bug gave way to a business plan when she first realised the importance of wearing babies for new mothers.
Firstly believe in your product or service. You should be in the business that your heart is in. Always remember why you started your venture and what vision you have for yourself for the coming years. There are no short-cuts in anything and nothing can replace hard work and dedication. These apply to any entrepreneur.
I only had to wear my newborn son in a ring sling once to be sure that any parent will buy a carrier like this in a heartbeat. A baby carrier can be of immense use when you are a new parent and it will only continue to be an amazing parenting tool as your baby grows up
