They say crisis is the mother of innovation, and when beauty and personal care outlets were closed throughout the pandemic, two university students stepped up to the challenge and created SweetPeachier, a personal care company whose star product is a hair removal device using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. Co-founder Kon Fa Rong shares their experience in juggling student life and entrepreneurship, customer education on a new personal care device, and how they took a startup capital of RM5000 and made over RM1 million in sales in the span of a year.
