About

Hey there! I'm the founder of Kidcity, a mass-selling D2C brand with a strong presence in three states and over 70+ SIS stores in the kidswear space. We are a value home wear brand for your kids' everyday joy! Our website launch is now LIVEEE!! Go check it out www.kidcity.shop My journey kicked off back in 2017, driven by one thing: building things that matter. From scaling fashion businesses to curating culture-first communities, I've always been about ideas that unite people. One of the closest to my heart is Humtree — a grassroots honey and macrame product brand where we work with 180+ women from the Sundarbans to craft and sell handmade products like macrame, candles, and natural honey. It's our way of blending creativity, sustainability, and real social impact on the ground. More recently, I started Turtle Therapy, a culture and music IP that hosts intimate gigs in alternative spaces — fashion stores, kitchens, living rooms — creating a new kind of community and brand-led experience. Outside work, I'm probably kicking a football, lifting weights, swimming, mountain climbing or planning my next travel escape. I'm always up for conversations about creativity, community, or discovering new ideas with good people. Let's build something incredible!

Experience

Turtle therapy

Co-Founder

Feb 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 2 mos · Mumbai, Maharashtra, India · Hybrid

Built Turtle Therapy as a culture-first movement curating music, community, brands and creative experiences in unconventional spaces — from cafes and living rooms to fashion stores and warehouses. The goal? To blur the lines between music, brand and human connection.
Curated over 17+ intimate gigs across cities, spotlighting underground and emerging artists.
Scaled Turtle into a growing community of like-minded people vibrating on music, expression, and togetherness.
We’re not a party brand — we’re a movement redefining how people experience sound and space.

Kidcity

Co-Founder

Jan 2020 – Present · 6 yrs 3 mos · India · On-site

I started Kidcity with no playbook—just a deep curiosity about the kidswear market and a frustration with how inefficient the supply chain was.
What began as a small idea has grown into a D2C + B2B brand serving retailers across 5 states currently in India serving 100+ SIS counters, with a sharp focus on value, speed, and trust.
As Founder & CEO, I work closely on strategy, partnerships, brand, and day-to-day execution—learning, unlearning, and building alongside my team every single day.
