Gifting has always been a cultural tradition in India, but before 2010 it was mostly offline and dependent on local vendors. Seeing this gap, Himanshu Chawla and Shrey Sehgal launched FlowerAura, later joined by Suman Patra. Their vision was to make gifting easy, technology‑driven, and reliable, ensuring flowers, cakes, and personalized gifts could be delivered seamlessly across the country.
