All Things Bright : The Travelling Flea

 

After its successful launch in April this year, All Things Bright has crawled into the hearts of the people in Kochi . It started off with two young women entrepreneurs, Merin Varghese and Chinnu Kunjumary Paul, and their personal experiences with flea markets. All Things Bright is a travelling flea market that plans to conquer various cities in Kerala and in the process promote and encourage the talented individuals and businesses of the state. It gives online entrepreneurs a chance to directly interact with their customers and understand their market more effectively. This flea market is a fun, exciting and colorful way to spend a day. All Things Bright’s newest edition will be conducted on the 7th and 8th of December at Kaloor Stadium Ground, Kochi.
