3. Fit in clouds: Fit in clouds is a women’s shoe company that specializes in light weight, portable shoes that are small enough to fit into a tiny ladies purse. Women who wear heels often complain of foot pain by the end of the night. The alternatives available to them so far are walking barefoot or carrying a pair of flip flops. Both of these options are unpractical, and this is where Fit in clouds comes in. These shoes are comfortable, and at the end of the night, when the pain from the heels gets unbearable, they take off their heels, and put on their clouds.

Entrepreneur: Rahul Sahni
