This Holi, play with white e-color gulaal, eat premium chocolates and indulge in water gun fighting atop a terrace. Sangeeta Yadav tells you how to do things differently
Bag full of goodies
Ebagsfull: Multi-format online portal has launched its special holi combos consisting organic and non-toxic colours
along with other goodies like chocolates etc. “Holi is a huge market in India and we wish to tap that. This season we have tried to do things differently by introducing ecolor. A family pack of 100 per cent natural skin friendly gulaal, this is available in 5 variants of myriad colours & exotic essential oil aromas like lemongrass, citronella & orange,” Mohit Taneja, co-founder and CMO of ebagsfull.com, tells you, adding that apart from colours the portal will also be dealing with exclusive holi gifts to suit all pockets — Rs75 to Rs1,500.
What is also different this year is the sale of premium chocolates rather than Indian sweets. “It is not possible to send all kinds of sweets over a courier. Thus chocolates have replaced sweets,” Taneja says.
