Hassan Sinnan (19) is setting a trend by offering attractive passport covers customized to the clients’ requirement. A student of Christ College, Bengaluru, Hassan always wanted to start something on his own and get into the world of business but lacked knowledge on how and what to start. Finally, when he came to a conclusion on this, the financial requirement to start up his dream business left him awestruck. “My friend Manav is the one who actually pushed me to start on my own and along with him, there were several other people and factors which influenced me for the same. And I’m thankful to all of those!” He says. This young lad started the business with more of debt and a very marginal amount from his pocket. In order to get the best reach on investment, Hassan started up his business through an Instagram page called “LIT Little Things” now for which he has more than 4000 followers.

Initially, his family and friends were quite skeptical about his business, but gradually, they too recognized when the demand went high and he started earning. Lit little things soon expanded to create customized key chains, wallets & mobile covers.
