Anaita Built A Multi Million Dollar Business In Just Three Years
Listen now
Description
Anaita Sarkar's accessory business Olivia & Co had just started taking off. When something started to annoy her. At the end of every workday, she would stare at piles and piles of online orders wrapped in plastic. She knew that within seconds of those packages landing on her customer's doorstep, that they would end up in the bin. She knew there had to be a more sustainable option.  After twelve months of research, prototypes and trial and error, Anaita and her husband created Australia's first certified home-compostable, zero-waste shipping mailer. It was an immediate hit.  Today Hero Packaging is a multi mullion dollar business and has shipped over 15 million mailers. So how did Anaita break into a market she had no background in? And how have she and her husband created such a profitable business in just three years?   LINKS You can keep up with Anaita on her Instagram.
