From Passion to Thriving Startup: The Journey of Giftswithfeelings by Founder Bilal Naik

Writer: Bilal SaeedBilal Saeed


What started as a personal passion for collectibles has now turned into a thriving business. Giftswithfeelings was born in 2023 as an online platform, fueled by my deep love for anime, Marvel, DC, and other iconic franchises. Today, after two years of hard work, struggles, and dedication, we are proud to have delivered over 1,000+ products to happy customers across India!


The Struggles Behind the Success


Starting this journey was anything but easy. With no financial backing from investors or family, I had to invest all my savings, take on side hustles, and even borrow loans to keep Giftswithfeelings alive. The initial days were full of challenges—cash burns, slow sales, and the constant fear of failure. However, my passion for collectibles and the booming anime culture in India kept me pushing forward.


In 2024, we expanded beyond the online store by participating in offline events at tech parks, apartments, and shopping malls. This move helped us connect directly with our audience, understand their preferences, and grow our brand presence.



A Team Effort: From Solo Hustle to a Growing Business


Though I started alone, I wouldn’t have made it this far without the support of my co-founder and brother, Farhan Naik, and my father, who stood by me when things were tough. Today, after two years of relentless efforts, we are finally seeing our small business become slightly profitable, and the dream of making Giftswithfeelings a household name among collectors feels closer than ever.
