#10: Products with a soul

In less than a year, SaiVijaya Naidu’s venture SoulfulSaai has taken off, giving her a much needed boost. From conceptualizing to designing, she does it all. She has sold her products on more than 6 websites, and continues to do so. Boasting a Post Graduate degree in Textiles n Clothing from the Mumbai University, she also happens to be a gold medalist and the university topper. She was inclined towards art, right from school days, so she eventually convinced her parents to let her take up Textiles Designing as opposed to being a typical doctor or engineer. “Loaded with all the knowledge from my degree, I even worked as a lecturer for a year in my own college, but got bored soon, as I was teaching exactly what I had learnt, ie. too much of theoretical knowledge. I discontinued and took up writing. I wrote on fashion and textiles which I thoroughly enjoyed, but fate had a different course for me. The erratic schedules and late nights didn't go well with my family so I quit the job, and did freelancing instead. But that too wasn't motivating. So I ended up spending time online, made new friends Facebook and Twitter, and even blogging a bit,” shares Saai.

Soulfulsaai was actually her Twitter-handle, which eventually gave birth to her brand. Nandita Iyer, a fellow food blogger, suggested Saai that she checks Etsy.com. Well, that was it. Once she took this plunge, she pledged that she would swim the Atlantic. “In the beginning I surfed aimlessly. But then I did realize  that of all the products I surfed, I liked the segment on hair accessories. I immediately went to the nearby malls to check what type of hair accessories was sold and their price range. Later I decided to check the process of opening a shop on Etsy.com, and realized it was much simpler than opening a bank account!” exclaims Naidu.

After a while Saai realized that Etsy catered mainly to international clients, and she wanted to make a mark in her homeland too. That’s where she decided to open up a shop on Craftsvilla.com. Slowly, she spread her wings, and now sells her products on websites like Itshandmade.in, Shopick.com, Unwrapindia.com etc.

But the path she decided to take had its own pros and cons. “Frankly, every moment in the process of building Soulfulsaai has been eventful. As it was a relatively unthreaded path, any decision I made, I had to be ready for success or failure. I had my own share of disappointments. The first exhibition I had was a disaster. The reasons were numerous, but I sure learnt a lot from it,” shares Saai. On the brighter side, she is happy to be her own boss!

“I don’t only want people to benefit from Soulfulsaai, but I also want to create awareness about my brand, unlike the mass-produced products that lack personal touch. Today I am confident that there is a demand for my products because I use techniques like crochet, beading, macrame, soutache, and fabric flowers. While on the other hand, there are women who are struggling to earn a decent living. If I could bring these two things together, I would be happy,” says Saai.

#9: Dollops of love for your little one!

Women are known to multi-task. Meet Mariam Noronha, who juggles the roles between that of a teacher, blogger, freelance writer, artist, designer, an avid crafter and the owner of Dollops of Sunshine. “In one word, I’m a maverick!” she says.

Mariam, already MA in Commerce, is currently working towards completion of her Doctoral thesis. “Currently I teach Commerce and Management to under graduate students. I have worked as a freelance writer for over 6 years now, and that stint includes various genres of writing such as fiction, travel and web content development. I began blogging professionally over 2 years ago. I own and manage a blog called TheOneOfAKindPreneur that is about unique and custom-made businesses. Besides that, I write for a number of business blogs based out of Asia, Europe and Canada and also on the Indian social media scenario for SocialSamosa,” she shares.

Mariam has always loved creative pursuits. She dabbles in calligraphy, water-colours, one stroke painting, doodling and crochet. “I love colours and creating hand-made products gives me a lot of satisfaction. Designing hand-painted home decor, kids’ apparel and products is something I have begun enjoying in the last one year,” she adds.

Dollops of Sunshine started out as a Facebook page where Mariam used to share (not sell) pictures of her hand-painted trays, cards, lamps, table mats etc. Always having enjoyed crochet, last year she came up with the idea to create some fun crochet designs for babies. “I discussed this with my friend Abida Khan (an avid crafter herself) who immediately appreciated the idea. So both of us discussed this idea, over a cup of tea. Eventually that led to creation of a small collection of hats and booties for babies. Our first batch of designs sold out in just 3 days and soon we had people asking us to do more!” she quips.

As far as inspiration goes, it was more about giving vent to their creative side while creating designs that are colourful, fun and different. It was about getting out there, and making a difference with hand-made goodness. Far from being a commercial venture Dollops of Sunshine is about taking crochet designs for kids, to another level.

“My job as a teacher and a writer allows me to touch many lives. That is the exciting part of it. But as a designer, every day comes with new possibilities, more inspiration, loads of colour and lots to look forward to,” she elaborates.

In less than a year they have received a lot of appreciation and love from people. Dollops of Sunshine work towards adding a bucket full of happiness to the lives of babies and of course their mothers. “When people write in and say ‘We love your work’, or ‘I picked 15 pairs of DOS booties because I didn’t want to let any design go’ these things cannot be equated with money. The love and appreciation people have shown, is truly amazing. Everyone wants a piece of sunshine and we couldn’t ask for more. God has been very kind,” she shares.

Ask about what she has in store for the future, Mariam says, “It is too early to tell. The web has truly empowered people and Indian design too has truly come off age.  Vibrant Indian brands are filling up the web with their work that can be genuinely appreciated. But for us, the journey has just begun!”

#11: Lakdi Ki Kathi: All about kids

Meet Poonam Sharma, a true Delhite at heart, and an architect by profession, she has over 12 years of background in doing design work. She now owns the online furniture shop Lakdi Ki Kathi that specializes in kids’ furniture. “Back in April 2011, I went on a maternity leave from work, a few days before my baby was due. But I didn't know that I wasn't going to join them back. But the thing about having your child is that you also want to raise them yourself. You wish to be around when they learn how to hold their neck, start sitting, start eating, walking, talking, and the list is never ending. In short, I wanted to be around my daughter and see her grow up. And that basically meant that I could not get myself to go for a 12 hour/day kind of job,” shares Poonam. 

While searching for some furniture storage options for her daughter, Poonam realized what a huge gap there was in this segment. The choices she had were paying too much to buy high-price stuff from places like Hauz Khas Village or the malls. Or hire a carpenter to do it for you, (which is fine if you have a real love for seeing how furniture gets made and don't mind labourers sitting in your home). The last option was to hire a designer, who may or may not have the relevant expertise.

“But in today's world, no one really has the time or energy to get this done themselves, right? So, I saw a huge opportunity of combining my love for design and kids, into doing something that could save many parents all the hassle that I went through while furniture shopping for my daughter. That is what got me thinking about opening a shop. And with Anuj, my brother stepping in, he decided to put all his marketing gyan to make this into an online shop instead!” exclaims Sharma.

In the beginning of 2013, Poonam started to shortlist some carpenters after they did some sample pieces for her. Meanwhile, she also conceptualized the product range she was willing to offer and their designs. “Then we searched for a workshop space in the vicinity which was spacious enough. We officially opened the workshop in March this year. It took us almost 3 months to finally complete all the production and get the photography done. Later it took us another month to get the web store’s design up and running. In July, we officially announced the opening of our store Lakdi ki Kathi. Since then, it has been all about marketing and trying to reach out to the relevant audience,” she shares.

Ask her about what she loves the most about her new job and Poonam gets all excited. “Being my own boss and working from home is the most satisfying feeling ever. I love being around my daughter most of the time. And obviously designing for kids gives me a high. Since I learn a lot from my own experiences as a parent, am easily able to put them to a practical use.”

“On our store, we offer a lot of designs and a lot of customization, depending on any specific requirements the customer may have. From customizing by adding your child's name, giving colour options, multiple polish options, handle choices etc, we believe in giving the customer an exclusive experience. Right now, we need to push ourselves to think out-of-the box to get this into the hands of as many parents as possible. In future, I also wish to promote my design capabilities, by doing up the entire room and adding value in terms of design,” she ends.

#8. Image is everything. A Rich Image is even better.

Apart from her work, what does a working woman need to be noticed? A powerful personality. A persona that makes your head turn and notice her. Meet Aayezah Jameel, the founder of Rich Image, who helps you find that X-Factor in you.
Born to parents with phenomenal artistic temperaments and aesthetic sense, Aayezah inherited the love for words, the value of colours and relationship with textures. “I was always taught the importance of good manners, appearance and behaviour. Even at school, my principal always said, I want my student’s appearance and behaviour to speak for them and declare them as worthy citizens,” she shares.

After a string of confused career decisions and a commendable tenure in the best of hospitality industry, as General Manager with Hilton and Marriott, Aayezah proved her worth. “My first business venture was at the age of 24, while I was working with Hilton. When I came back to India, I started my Immigration and HR firm by the name of Twenty 4 Seven 365 Placement Services Pvt. Ltd. The company was started with the purpose to provide people with the honest and legal advice to immigrate, after witnessing hundreds of people being misled and cheated at the name of work permits while I was in United States. Twenty 4 Seven 365 has been a satisfying journey and its success gave me the freedom to venture into a field that is still alien to the Indian masses – Image Management,” says Jameel.

After having believed that every person is beautiful and unique in their own way, Aayezah wanted to bring out the best in every person – both their inner and outer image. “This desire to bring out a positive and happy change in as many lives as I can, kept me inspired and motivated to build the realm of Rich Image,” she says.

Rich Image trains and enriches individuals to form a professional image, an impressive personality, develop impeccable business, social and personal etiquette, maintain a powerful social image, manage relationships and enhance communication skills – all of it contributing to the holistic growth of an individual and adding value to their company’s brand image. While at Hilton, impressed with the way American women carried themselves impeccably at all occasions, Aayezah delved into the subject and learned a lot. She spent years in gaining knowledge, following fashion, completing certifications and collecting information to create a strong foundation for Rich Image.

“My passion lies in supporting individuals in realizing their self-worth and creating a Rich Image for themselves. This eventually led me to build a platform where I could bring together my expertise, technical and creative aptitude and create a learning source for every individual,” she elaborates.

The journey of Rich Image has been as enthralling and as challenging. It was a challenge to introduce a completely new concept in the market and the greater challenge was to help people realize and accept that they need a positive change in their image. “It is a very personal area of an individual’s life that they share with me and it needs tremendous sensitivity and empathy on the consultant’s part to enter that territory and win their trust. Image Management goes beyond fashion and styling, and delves into the lifestyle patterns of a person,” shares Aayezah.

In the years, Aayezah has been invited as a Guest Speaker at conferences and events that gave her a larger reach. She now serves on the Panel of Guest Speakers with Goldman Sachs and Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. “I am also associated with powerful networks like I-Met Global and life management providers like Rich Life Worldwide. I conduct workshops and seminars regularly with them,” beams Jameel. “I thoroughly enjoy my speaking assignments. A speaking assignment for me is not just a chance to market my work but an opportunity to help people refine and define their inner and outer selves. I also enjoy my one-on-one consultation sessions. Especially my de-cluttering and organizing sessions. I assist clients in de-cluttering, organizing and refreshing their wardrobes, souls and lives,” she adds.

At present Jameel is in a very happy place with Rich Image. She has good assignments and a wonderful team. Of course, the marketing, product improvisations and deliveries keep them on their toes; but that is the pace they enjoy. “My vision for Rich Image encompasses a space where individuals can heal their inner souls and reveal their unique personality and discover their Rich Image,” ends Aayezah.

#7: Meet The Crafting Queen

I have always bought greeting cards for my family, friends and husband, but never did it occur to me to make a card or personalize an already bought card. 

After talking to Karuna Chauhan, founder of Lulupu, I cannot wait to share her story with you. Hailing from a simple family, with an ex-army officer as her dad, she received abundant encouragement and support from her parents in order to prove herself. “Though I was always inclined towards the creative line, there were not enough options to discover the right course or education. Distressed through B.com, I decided to give NIFT a shot. But fashion was not my thing and I realized it later of course, when I didn't make it. I went ahead and completed my MBA in Marketing from Symbiosis, Pune, in 2007 and joined a job at a leading IT firm. Four years into the corporate job, I realized I wasn't cut for the hardcore politics. Plus IT stopped interesting me. I think it was around the same time things changed and for the good,” shares Karuna.

Passionate about craft ever since she was a kid, she would go to pick up cards from Archies’ for special occasions. But it did not allow her to customize it beyond a certain point. And always keen on creating a hand-made card with customized messaging, she believed it added an additional human element to the entire gifting process. “While I love everything to do with paper craft, people tend to mix it up with a more widely known form of paper art, which is Origami. However, the fundamental difference between the two, is that the traditional concept of Origami uses only one piece of paper, to create shapes, without the use of any scissors or glue. However, paper craft lets you deploy various techniques on paper or card as the primary artistic medium, for creating 3D objects as well,” says Chauhan.

As a paper craft artist, she uses various kinds of craft supplies and tools to create more professional looking handmade cards, scrapbooks, altered items, home decor which gives her work a fun and free-spirited feel. She makes all kinds of handmade invites, favour boxes, 2D/3D greeting cards, quilled paper art, scrapbooks for all occasions, altered arts like book ends, wall hangings and home decor products out of paper and related products.

On relocating to Bangalore for work in 2009, Karuna decided to use her free time to try her hand at hand-made greeting cards. Since her mother’s birthday was approaching, she decided to source the raw material. That’s when she spotted the colourful quilling strips. She navigated through a few DIY videos on YouTube to understand the technique better.

“As time progressed, I became extremely addicted to this form of paper craft and simultaneously started exploring other forms as well. I began a blog called Crafting Queen and kept updating it with my latest work and this gave me an opportunity to interact with other paper crafters not just in India, but also abroad. While the basic material was available in India, for the next level most of the material had to be sourced from abroad. I saw a lot of crafters relying on their friends and relatives to get them these products while returning from a trip to United States. It took me a lot of patience to source products through this channel. This is when I decided to create an online store, which will give crafters across India, an opportunity to purchase these products locally. Initially I used a blog called Crafting Queen Store to sell the products. Looking at the traffic and the demand I decided to go the e-commerce way and Lulupu.com was born on March 1st, 2012,” elaborates Karuna.

This special design team of Lulupu comprises of talented crafters across the country, which focus on providing a platform to build a community of like-minded crafters. To be a part of this team, a crafter has to qualify the set of filters or parameters decided by them. Lulupu.com provides them material from the store to create innovative projects which not just serve as an inspiration to other crafters, but also act as tutorials for amateurs.

Talk about the future of crafts and she quips, “Paper craft industry is at a very nascent stage in India. As a result, when I began pursuing my childhood hobby seriously, it was extremely difficult to source high quality raw material in India. The absence of retailers and suppliers prompted me to take the decision to open an online craft store which will cater to this growing need. It was a tough decision to embark on an unconventional journey, as the investment would come from my personal savings. It will be unfair to evaluate the success of such an initiative within a few months, as the task at hand is not only to help crafter source high quality global brands, but at the same time grow this segment by generating enough interest amongst prospective crafters.”

After quitting her job in March 2013, without doubt Karuna is her own boss and appraises herself. She gets to stay home, help take care of her 2 month old Labrador puppy, and also explore her creativity. Her husband, Siddhant, built her blog and ensured she kept it updated all the time. “He is an excellent photographer and he makes my work shine on my Facebook Page too. I love challenging myself to try new, quirky and crazy craft ideas. While the online store is one portion of what I do, I am an avid crafter and that’s the reason I began this journey.” she says. “We are constantly working towards optimizing our supply chain to source the best quality products of internationally renowned brands at the lowest possible cost. Along with this we wish to increase our team size and make it efficient and scalable,” she ends.

#6: Spirited Shoes. Beautiful Accessories.

With the festive season approaching, apart from jewellery, what is the other thing women like to splurge on? SHOES!

Ruchika Panwar, owner of Viveza Shoes and Zene Creations has a lot to tell. 
Since childhood she was a creative person and tried to involve herself in anything and everything. She loved making candles, decorating diwali diyas, sketching, painting, or drawing on all her house walls. After working for a corporate like Google, she thought it was time to start something of her own, where she could work independently. With no formal education or training in this field, she started Viveza - the Shoe Boutique and Zene Creations. “The idea behind starting my career as an entrepreneur in the field of ladies footwear and faux fashion jewellery was to deal in something I had a huge interest in. And also where I could be involved in the production process from start to finish, using my abilities to the fullest. I am a shopaholic. Shoes and jewellery are my first love. So what’s better than designing shoes and accessories?” she shares.

“At Viveza, we try and add that extra sparkle to your personality. Viveza is a term characterized by high spirits, in Spanish meaning liveliness, vivacity and sparkle. That is what defines every pair of our collection, while keeping the quality, comfort, airiness, delicacy and femininity intact,” claims Ruchika. The shoes are tasteful and impressive, with a variety of colours, styles and designs, carefully selected for our customers, to complement their style of dressing. “Whether you wear western, traditional, casual or party clothes, Viveza has a lot of options!” adds Panwar.

On the other hand, Zene Creations is a vanity store for all fashion jewellery lovers. Zene in Afrikaans means beautiful. It’s all about bringing out the fashionista in you and help you adorn unique handcrafted sparkling embellishments that are ready to compliment your ensemble. “Our range comprises of colourful bead strings, jadau neckpieces, pachi and thewa art, ornate faux kundan pendants and earrings, handcrafted accessories with motifs and western fashion jewellery,” she says.

“Being an entrepreneur in such a field is a craft in its own, which has further helped me hone my skills at designing and conceptualizing different ideas, yet keeping in-sync with the current fashion trends. I often sit down with my customers (local and outstation) and incorporate their requirements into my jewellery designs. Sometimes I suggest walk-in customers with shoe designs - the kind they want and what fits or suits them best. The end result is a happy customer walking out with their little vanities,” she explains. With 3 successful years for both Viveza Shoes and Zene Creations, “the journey so far has been great and enriching. We have local and outstation customers who appreciate our designs. Also, our Facebook pages received positive and encouraging response,” says Ruchika.

Ask her about her inspiration and she shares a quote:

"When at the same moment she had on a dress,

Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less,
And jewellery worth ten times more, I should guess,
All she said, that she had not a thing in the wide world to wear!"

With all women agreeing with the above quote, Ruchika adds, “Here's to celebrating womanhood, vanity and all that makes each one of us happy!”

After receiving an overwhelming response, Ruchika now wants to further explore her options. “For now I feel I have a lot more to explore and accomplish in my work areas, but yes, very soon we will be coming up with our websites for both Viveza and Zene. Also I intend to start with a store, selling western and contemporary styled clothes. On that, I will keep you posted,” she winks.

Imagine a woman who is already dealing with shoes, jewellery and now wants to add clothes to her kitty – she’s got to be your new best friend! 

#5: For the love of Jewellery!

Since my obsession with jewellery has just begun, I am all excited to introduce you to Suman Dash, Founder of Vastradi Jewels, a website dedicated to imitation jewellery. An engineer by qualification, Suman left her cushy job 5 years ago so that she could spend quality time with her family. Now a mother to a beautiful daughter, who is equally fond of fashion jewellery at this young age, she started this journey 2 years ago.

“We started Vastradi Jewels with a humble investment of some thousand rupees and posted pictures on our Facebook Page. It was surprising to see so many people appreciating it and the orders started pouring in. There has been a lot of learning throughout, and a lot of hard-work has gone into building up the venture,” she shares.

Since childhood, Suman was exposed to all forms of art and was encouraged to follow her own dreams. She loved collecting unique jewellery pieces, and has the talent of combining semi-precious gems, irregular stones and fine metals with craftsmanship. “I became a jewellery retailer following a fascination for anything beautiful. It occurred to me that a jewellery piece is the smallest object one can wear, that also tells stories. My most joyful experience is when I sell a piece, and people seeing it place orders for similar pieces!” she exclaims.

She is an avid traveller and loves to add fine pieces of jewellery in her closet from all over the world which also resonated well with both her Indian and global customer’s choice. Now she not only designs but also curates jewellery pieces from India and abroad.

“For selling, we've been using the Hybrid Model, online (via Facebook) and offline (exhibitions and events) to sell our products. The website was developed majorly to organize our entire collection, to provide our customers with a platform where they can buy products using credit/debit cards and reach an audience beyond Facebook. Another reason that pushed us to start a website was that searching of a particular kind of products is now much easier,” shares Dash.

The icing on the cake for Suman has been her husband, Vinay Jaiswal, who is also her mentor. An IIT Roorkee Alumni, he recently quit his high-flying sales job and joined Vastradi Jewels full time. His ideas and work experience with a multimillion dollar organisation helps Vastradi reach greater heights, every single day. He has been instrumental in hiring key team members, who are all geared-up to take this business to a higher level. Vastradi Jewels is now on a roll and has set up higher targets to grow in next few years. “We plan to open retail shops in all the high street malls in India and countries like UAE, Malaysia, USA and European region. Meanwhile our website is helping us out to reach to our potential customers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities within India,” adds Suman.

Ask her about the pros and cons and she quips, “Start-ups come with lots of in-built challenges and benefits. The benefit that I see is that I get to spend time with my family and my daughter the way I want. Also, although difficult, but I get to choose the day I get to take off from work.”

Meanwhile, her future plans are building up. “We are also exploring the idea of venturing into the gold and diamond jewellery segment in near future, but before that, our focus is to reach out to as many consumers possible. We promise to serve as a reliable supplier for everything that we offer them,” she says.

#4: The Royal Treatment

A kid who loved to scribble. 
A child who loved to sketch. 
A lady who loves to design. 
That should easily sum up the introduction of my friend, Ruchi Verma. She is the proprietor of Rayana, a place where you can order customized diamond and gold jewellery. “Sketching and rendering was a favourite past time while growing up. I remember taking every activity related to art and craft during school days. I could never sit idle and watch TV, hence would be sketching. This eventually took me to National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), where I specialized in accessory design, with jewellery as my first love,” she starts.

“After doing my graduation project with Tanishq, my love for jewellery grew like never before. Later I even worked with Mehrasons Jewellers, Raas Jewels, and did a lot of exhibitions all over India to explore my marketing potential,” she adds. 

Ask about her big idea and she gets all excited, “Rayana means Royalty/Queen in Persian. The name itself describes the idea behind my brand. I realized that women want a personal touch to their jewellery pieces, which is not possible with a jewellery retailer or mass manufacturer. Hence I gave them the option to customize their own pieces. My clients have the option to design their own pieces as well. They should feel special and royal even while getting their piece made!”

She started her journey by designing wedding jewellery for a friend. She customized every piece for her big day, and the word just spread. “Few of my clients are based outstation, so they order just over email or phone, whilst discussing every nuance. Hail the digital world,” she adds. 

Since Ruchi started her own brand, it has been a blessing in disguise: one order after the other, and then she got a chance to interact with some long lost friends (including me!!) and designed jewellery pieces for them. “Although, the most thrilling part so far of my entrepreneurial journey has been being chosen for the '10k Women Entrepreneur' Course sponsored by Goldman Sachs with Indian School of Business as their academic partner. I feel like a real business woman, even though I am still very young as compared to the rest,” she quips.

For a woman who is surrounded by sparkling diamonds and precious stones, she enjoys being her own boss and having the luxury to travel where ever she wants, whenever she wants. “After doing a lot of customized pieces, I wish to explore the e-commerce world with a slightly different concept. A lot of work needs to be done before that actually happens,” she says.

We wish her the best of luck!

#3: Tiny Steps. Tiny Love.

Born and brought up in the chaotic Dilli, I would like you to meet the typical Punjabi girl: Neha Malhotra. After completing her Post Graduation in Design, she started working with a company as a Graphic Designer. “Within 6 months I realized that working 9-5 was not cut out for me, and I wanted to do something of my own. After working as freelance photographer for a few years, I started with TinyLove Photography that specializes in on-location photo sessions for newborns, kids, families and expecting parents,” she exclaims. 

What started as a hobby (and a way to break away from the monotonous job routine), it has now turned into her living. When she started, she was flocked with inquiries for toddlers or family sessions; but very few were open to do maternity or newborn sessions. “People still believed in not taking pictures of expectant mothers or newborns, but gradually (and thankfully) all this is fading away. For the past 6-7 months, I have only been capturing the excitement of expectant mothers and the antics of the newborns. Honestly, the word-to-mouth publicity has really helped me in the growth of my business,” she beams.

After almost a year of starting the brand, TinyLove proudly boasts of more than 75 happy families who have availed Neha’s professional services and are her true supporters.

While in a photography business, taking pictures only constitutes to about 10% of the entire work, rest of the time Neha juggles between the roles of a client servicing executive, a designer, an editor, a social media executive, a sales person and a delivery boy. “It has been an amazing journey and am loving all the roles so far,” she shares.

“I love my job and I LOVE getting to know my clients. I take a lot of pride in focusing on giving all my clients not just great images, but a great experience as well,” she adds.

If you visit her Facebook Page you will see that her photography is fun, untraditional and totally unscripted. “I am all for making fun and breathtaking memories. I love capturing raw and unscripted moments because ten years from now, when my clients look back at their photographs, I want them to be emotionally captivated by them,” she elaborates.

With no regrets whatsoever, Neha has an ambition which she plans to achieve with compassion. And boy, we love her spirits!
