It all started with a bouquet that Vikas Gutgutia wanted to buy for his girlfriend. As he wandered through Delhi’s flower markets, he was met with wilted petals, poorly cut stems and hardly any variety. For something as timeless and beautiful as a bouquet, the options were surprisingly disappointing

This experience sparked a new idea, where others saw a wilted bunch of roses, he saw a blooming opportunity. Back in 1994, Vikas borrowed some money from his friends and took the leap to start ‘Ferns N Petals’, a company that would go on to redefine how India celebrates love, memories, and milestones.
