Roshni Khemlani Mehta — Founder
I began my career in finance, working in asset management and private wealth, where I built a strong analytical foundation and a deep understanding of global markets. In 2014, I transitioned into entrepreneurship, launching my first brand, Izaak Azanei - a contemporary womenswear label that retails globally in prestigious stores including: Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, Lane Crawford, Saks Fifth Avenue and Harvey Nichols. In 2022, I founded Little IA, a modern children’s lifestyle brand rooted in thoughtful design, functionality, and storytelling. What began as a newborn-focused gifting brand has evolved into a category-spanning business that creates meaningful, elevated essentials for families, combining product innovation with emotional resonance. With over a decade of experience in both womenswear and kidswear, I’m deeply focused on building consumer brands that are design-led, scalable, and globally relevant. I’m also an active investor in early-stage ventures, a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA), and a speaker on entrepreneurship, brand building, and navigating leadership while raising a family. Above all, I believe in creating products and companies that make life feel a little more joyful, intentional, and beautiful.
