Kidpreneurs in Vadodara launches their hydro-dip shoe startup with the noble goal of donating 40% of profits to charity. The startup called “Enso Shoes” is getting lots of attention in the city due to its creative and funky designs.
Renash Desai is 10 years old and a student at Cygnus School. The whole idea of Hydro-Dip shoes was his own. He visited the shoe exhibition around two months ago and got the idea to make one of his own designs when he saw people buying customised shoes. He sketched some of his designs in a sketch book and watched videos on YouTube about hydro-dipping shoes to create his own first-ever shoe pair at home. This idea fascinated him, and with the support of family and encouragement from friends, he launched his startup, Hydro Dipping Shoes, in Vadodara with the noble idea of donating 40% of the profit to charity.
Renash uses spray paints to make the layer of design on water and then hydro dips the shoes to make creative designs. It just takes around 10 minutes to hydro dip a pair of shoes, but it takes one full day to dry. Renansh even said with a proud smile on his face that currently he’s only making 10 pairs of shoes, and he also wants to design for every age group. Enso Shoes intends to expand its operations beyond the borders of India.
Renansh’s parents, Ankur Desai and Pooja Desai, supported him in this creative startup and want to strengthen this idea. Proud mother Pooja Desai said that this is a very proud moment for them as their 10-year-old son started his own company. It’s a unique concept in Vadodara, and Renansh uses his own creativity to create combinations of designs by hydro dipping the shoes. She even requested that other young entrepreneurs come forward to bring their creative ideas into reality.Inspired by the example of her own son, Pooja Desai wanted to start a community to support kidpreneurs.
The Desai family believes in philanthropy and does charity throughout the year. Pooja herself is associated with many trusts and takes her sons for service once a month. She feels it is very important to instil such values in children from an early age for a better future.
