Sneha Roy & Sananda Misra -

Toptomato.in..............Toptomato.in by Sneha Roy & Sananda Misra is an online platform for ordering all household items. Its not a new concept but the founders aim to make it unique with its grocery subscription. One can subscribe for regular needs like milk, butter, etc and can specify required frequency. TopTomato was launched in the month of September, 2012 by Sneha Roy and Sananda Misra, graduates from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, with varied experience of working in the FMCG sectors. The venture is self-funded and the seed capital was about Rs 5 lakhs.  The initial capital was used for building the website and setting up the back-end and delivery networks. In an era where time and money have become mutually convertible commodities, Toptomato promises an escape from mundane Sunday morning shopping chores, long queues at billing desks, and endless hassles over procurement of daily necessities. With its highly customised home delivery systems, extensive periodic packages, attractive discounts, infallible quality assurance, preferred delivery time options and a robust order tracking system, Toptomato aims to redefine the entire shopping experience for its customers.  So for those of you who would rather recline in an arm chair with a cup of coffee than waste half of your life in marts and malls pushing trolleys filled with the week’s shopping, Toptomato is just the right place. Afterall, lazy is the new sexy!

Kanika Dewan:

Dewan's family-owned business, Bramco, headquartered in Bahrain, carried out the floor work for the airport. More than 130,000 sq m of tiles were laid before the deadline of 11 months was over. After the project for the Delhi International Airport, Bramco is now working on a similar project with the Mumbai International Airport. The company has also done the flooring for a Leela Hotels project in Delhi.



For somebody who has contributed to designing mansions of several billionaires, apart from the work at the airports, Dewan does not boast of a design education. After majoring in finance at the Wharton business school, instead of continuing with investment banking, in which she had dabbled for a while, Dewan decided to become an interior designer.

Bramco is now proving to be the base of Dewan's new business. After her Wharton days, she decided to start a vertically integrated design firm that would capitalise on the exclusive availability of exotic marbles and granite from Bramco's mines.
