Champa recounted how her deep-seated devotion to Lord Krishna inspired her to craft jewelry—not just for her personal deities but also for worshippers across the country. Over time, this heartfelt passion blossomed into a flourishing enterprise, with Krishna Sakhi earning widespread acclaim for its meticulously handcrafted designs. She proudly disclosed that her jewelry had even been used to embellish the Radha Krishna idol at the esteemed Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan, a revelation that deeply impressed the investors.
Aspiring to increase production capacity and broaden her market reach, Champa proposed an investment deal, requesting Rs 37.5 lakh in return for a 2.5% equity share. When Aman Gupta inquired about her experience managing a business at her stage in life, she responded with unwavering enthusiasm, expressing that her work was a source of immense joy and fulfillment rather than a mere responsibility. Her resilience and positive outlook earned her admiration from all the investors.
Despite their appreciation for her determination, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, and others advised her to focus on scaling her business gradually instead of relying on external capital. Given the specialized nature of her venture, they believed that organic, self-sustained growth would be a more suitable strategy.
While all the investors were emotionally moved by her entrepreneurial journey, the one who seemed most touched was Bahl. He remarked, “Mujhe aap mein apni maa dikh rahi hai.. Mera dil haan keh raha hai, par dimaag na bol raha hai” (I see my mother in you… My heart says yes, but my mind says no). He elaborated that although he deeply admired her perseverance and dedication, he was uncertain about the business’s potential for large-scale expansion. Consequently, he ultimately decided not to invest.
