Talking about the launch, Ankit Virmani, Director of Esskay Beauty resources said, “Shubham & I come from a family of business-oriented minds and we entered this industry with a rosy picture in the back of our minds. But the reality was different and had we not passionately followed our passion, we would have surely given up after having witnessed many ups & downs.
