4 Design Entrepreneurs Who Have Trodden New Paths in the past Decade

The past decade has seen an exponential rise in the number of entrepreneurs in the e-commerce market who have brought fresh and never-seen-before ideas to the front. These people and their ideas went on to disrupt the sector and changed how it was viewed, perceived, and consumed.

At this point, it is important that we remind ourselves again why they stood out from the others and what made them and their businesses reach the heights of success.

1. Zivame

Found in 2011 with a vision to provide more options in lingerie wear and save women from a hundred trips to different stores only to come out with innerwear they are less than satisfied with, Zivame not only changed how women buy lingerie but it also did away with the taboo of talking about it openly with its uncomplicated yet impactful marketing campaign. Since then, it has only been an upward slope for these bunch of entrepreneurs who have now gone on to launch their own exclusive Zivame collection which has received rave reviews from customers.
