FROM REELS TO REVENUE A SWEET SUCCESS AT 19

How Passion and Consistency Changed Everything

  • No investors.

  • No fancy bakery.

  • No business degree.

Just a 19-year-old girl, an oven in the kitchen, and the courage to start.

Meet Samridhi Elantholy, a law student from Mumbai, who didn't wait for "the right time."

In 2024, she started La Joie, a small home-based dessert brand.

Her first customers?

Friends. Family. A few neighbors. But Samridhi had one superpower -- she knew how to tell her story.

She started posting aesthetic baking reels on Instagram:

  • Chocolate shots - melting

  • Frosting swirls

  • Cake box packaging moments

People didn't just like her desserts. They felt the love behind them. And magic happened.

6 Months Later:

  • 450+ Customers Served

  • ₹4,00,000+ Revenue

Every rupee reinvested to grow

A Brand Built from Pure Passion

No shortcuts. No viral overnight luck.

"Just consistency + creativity + courage."
