Venturing into the direct selling world, Munashraf shared that he worked as a vendor, selling chocolate jars by the roadside.

Recalling his days, the hardworking man shared that he was eager when it came to learning new things.
“I was actively finding ways to improve myself, learning how to do marketing, sales and closing”, he mentioned.
Successfully changes his family’s fate
While his friends were having fun, enjoying their youth, Munashraf was working hard, trying to achieve a breakthrough for his family. Despite his parents earning enough of a salary to get by, he knew that he wanted to do more for his family. However, it was no easy feat for him as he faced quite a bit of challenges.
Setting up multiple businesses which showed great potential initially, Munashraf found it a struggle to scale his business bigger. On top of that, he was met with the tragic news that his mother had passed away.

Hanging out with his friends, he realised that most of his friends had pets and they would often suffer from health issues. Understanding that there’s a gap in the market, the idea of creating supplements for cats donned on him. Looking into the idea of creating his own brand and product, he then began researching.
