How to turn an idea into a physical product (Even if that idea has never been done before) – with Gauri Nanda

Gauri Nanda, Toymail, eCommerce, Non-Tech, Physical Product, Women Founders

One of my interviewees is back! Last time Gauri Nanda was on Mixergy she talked about how she created Clocky, a clock that sits on your nightstand, then goes off. Frankly, it goes off your nightstand and you chase it to help you wake up. We talked about how she went from idea to manufacturing, and how she launched related products.

Well, she’s back because that wasn’t her last product. It wasn’t her last business line. Today I want to talk about how she created Toymail, a messaging system for children where you can send messages from your phone to a toy anywhere in the world. She designed these beautiful toys.

She made them into products, and she sold them. I invited her here to tell how she did it.
