These surprise gift boxes by Little Trovebox has people hooked

Pratima Vikram Bhinge and her son Kush’s successful business venture, Little Trovebox – By Kush, makes for a heart-warming story.

Like any parent, Pratima Vikram Bhinge was worried when hers son Kush was diagnosed with a developmental delay. That worry triggered in her the desire to find a skill her son loved best.
Pratima realised Kush loves to give gift friends and relatives and she decided to take this a step further. That is how Little Trovebox – By Kush was born. Kush, with Pratima’s guidance, makes curated and customised gift boxes that are becoming quite an attraction.

Kush, who is now 16 years old, loves to experiment with these boxes. Pratima loves to see the smile on his face after he completes each box. What makes this venture even more lovely is that the equipment used to make these boxes are made by children with disabilities.

Kush, who is now studying functional academics at a school in Pune, is totally hooked as he juggles academics and this venture.

We are lucky to have supportive friends and family who encouraged us to start Little Trovebox. Over the years, I’ve been wondering what can be done to make Kush independent and self-reliant. It must also be something that he enjoys doing. That is when I noticed his love to send gifts and make them too. We take customised orders and our venture has been getting good response till date. – Pratima Vikram Bhinge
