Manage episode 367318012 series 2581573
THIS WEEK'S GUEST IS BHARTI RADIX, FOUNDER, BLOOMSYARD
Working in the hospitality industry for the past 19 years, primarily in finance, Bharti decided to put away her spreadsheets and go it alone in the big wide world of being an entrepreneur. Going into lockdown #1 in March 2020 she didn’t know what she was going to do next. By April she had decided that she wanted to work on a business plan for her own Café Wine Bar, by the end of May she had launched a website with an eShop selling tea, coffee and wine online and delivering it out to bring some joy to everyone during the rest of that lockdown. By Sep 2020 her first physical site was opened in the local shopping centre, and went on to open a further 4 sites by Jul 2023. Bharti is ambitious and determined and expects that BloomsYard will carrying on expanding in the future and hopes it will be that ‘escape from the hustle and bustle’ that we all look for.
