Vikaas Gutgutia is the founder of Ferns N Petals which is a florist and gift portal with branches in India. Career It took Gutgutia nine years—from 1994 to 2003 - to break even. In that period he imported flowers and personally transported them to franchisees. At the high end of the spectrum, he joined hands with fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani with a view to set up luxury floral boutiques under the auspices of FNP Tahiliani. He has also ventured into luxury weddings with another designer and old friend -JJ Valaya. According to Gutgutia, a foray into street foods proved to be a disaster. With his success in FNP, he ventured into “Chatak Chaat” - a chain which served north Indian street foods. But the venture failed and Gutgutia lost a large amount of money with this business failure.
