Story behind FRINZA
Praveen Singh is Founder & CEO and Truptimayee Lenka is Co-founder and COO of FRINZA. The idea of starting FRINZA struck Praveen during his PG days at MBA when he once forgot to wish his girlfriend because of his busy schedule and a forgetting habit. To make up for his mistake he thought of sending her a gift but only ended up spending hours in searching for the perfect gift. What added more to his frustration was that the gift was delivered 2 days late.
That is when Praveen realized that there would be many people facing this issue, and he thought what if he could build a system which would eliminate the pain of spending hours selecting the perfect gift and then delivering it on time.
Overcoming the COVID crises
FRINZA prospered during this pandemic. It works on the concept of cloud kitchens and hence they did not see much disturbance in their business.
FRINZA made sure that in these testing times, all their staff was monetarily compensated and they also got their medical insurance done.

FRINZA also has recorded a year-on-year growth (YoY) of +137.6% for the year 2019-20.
