Actress Jomol talks like an established entrepreneur who also happens to moonlight as an actress. The actress is finding that the 'weird, creative' energy she breathed into her movie roles works well in her new business too, ever since she forayed into entrepreneurship with her gifting web portal.
The website, www.Makeitspecial.in, endeavors to make special occasions for the visitors a mesmerizing experience. Jomol gets candid in an interview with Onmanorama on her website
Taking the new role
Starting a business was something I never thought of although I was always passionate about it. It was my husband who always stood by me and encouraged me to think of something. In fact he inspired me to start a venture, which could bring out a revolutionary change in the gifts you give to your loved ones.
Joy of gifting
I have always wondered why some people spend huge amounts on small gifts such as flowers. Such things do not even last for more than three or four days. That struck me and I thought: why not think of something that could be a lasting memoir.
The website Makeitspecial.in gives a huge variety of gifting ideas. Through it, our team will try for a revolutionary change from the usual product centric gifting to experience centric. From a host of things such as dine-outs, spa, rooms to boat-trips, a customer can gift a service of their choice at selected hotels to his dear ones, just by registering through our website. The novelty of our service is that you can book and pay for the food in advance. Jomol vouches that one cannot do that through any other channels.
Comeback
Ever since I was married to Chandrashekhar, I decided to take a break from films. But he had always encouraged me to continue with films and dancing, if I want. And later, I acted in two TV serials.
But from this point, I feel my life is going to change and I might be busy with the role of an entrepreneur. Even now, when I meet directors they ask if I would like to act again. In fact I would make a comeback if a really good script comes my way.
