Daftari, Shital

Shital founded her company Saris and Things in 2011 with a small investment and a big dream. She started Saris and Things, which is an exclusive online website where one can Rent or Buy designer Indian clothes for weddings and gala events. 

In 2012 she became an Amazon Seller and started selling her brand Saris and Things on Amazon, and also expanded to selling designer shoes, swimwear, Fine Jewelry and many top designer brands.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, she pivoted her business to selling PPE and was one of the first sellers to sell face masks on Amazon, and within weeks expanded her product line to include hand sanitizers, gloves, pulse oximeters, swabs, surgical gowns, and all types of PPE. With the huge success with PPE, she grew her business to selling covid tests and lab supplies and launched her wholesale business, SNT Biotech in the latter half of 2020.

Her company SNT Biotech now supplies Covid Tests and Lab supplies to various hospitals and labs across the country.
