It was the year 2015, 3 students of VIT Vellore were hit up with the idea of converting photos into handmade paintings and delivering it to the common man at his doorstep.
The venture was financed in the growing years by their college mates in promise of returning it with interests.
Who knew at that time that a company called PortraitFlip would be the leading startup housing more than 100 artists at their galleries!
After they completed their Engineering and got the Best Startup Award from VIT Chennai, the three techies setup their roots in the beautiful city of Pune to grow their business in the whole world.
