When and how did you start?
“BuddsBuddy is my dream come true. I had this plan cooking in my mind back from
2014. But I wanted to create a brand that not only proves the worthiest in terms of use but also suits the budget of the common people. Babies aren’t supposed to use
harsh,chemical-filled products, especially for their feeding which is common in the
market nowadays. So, I decided to put up a new innovative range of ‘All-Natural’ products for children’s daily and specific use. After a deep research, analysis, and implementation tests, we decided to root our company in 2015. Our company produces innovative BabyCare products and now we also have a wide range of products for Mother’s needs”, Says Mr. Krishna Sighakolli, Founder of BuddsBuddy.
How did you come up with the idea? Your inspiration moment
“Having a keen interest in providing a quality product with safety assurance is what
drove me to create this brand and the products for specific uses.” I think the babies
deserve a complete care beyond just the normal needs and hence I along with my team
invented a brand new range of babycare products for their daily and specific use.
Though there are hundreds of brands out there in the market, but we didn’t just wanted
to sell our products and make money. Our focus is to prove our worthiness and make
the best quality products for babies and Mothers from every safety aspect.
Looking at the need for immediate help, healing, cure and care for infant and toddlers we have started BuddsBuddy. Child immortality rate, baby health safety, and baby safe products are the measures we seek development to keep our younger generation safe. BuddsBuddy is a gentle effort from our highly dedicated team to make sure the health of our country’s children are safe.
