Hemant and Nandita met while pursuing their degree in fashion and hit it off when they realized they shared an immense love for the arts. Hailing from a business family, Hemant was always passionate about entrepreneurship and Nandita’s desire to vent her creative energy, seeded the bond of their friendship. In 2004, with the ideology to be inspired by art forms and to cartel it with a contemporary outlook, the duo began their design journey. They worked their charisma over basic motifs inspired from architecture, carvings, dying art forms, and tribal culture to transform them into classic yet unique prints, embroideries and surface developments.
