What got us Started?

An Artist at heart and an engineer by profession, EthniiChic is the brain child of Roshni Puthukudy. Started in 2014 by this engineer turned Entrepreneur, when she decided to turn her passion into a career.

It all began with journeys. Work called her family to travel to vast, diverse soils of India and brought her curious childhood fascinatingly close to realm of Indian handicrafts. Each move, filled her with appreciating and formally learning craft techniques of the land. This casted unmistakable impressions of glorious Indian craft, the rich color, materials and texture palettes. She realised, that the craft radiated a zen feeling for both the artisan and the bearer.

Springing back to adulthood, going by the scripted path of degrees, corporate jobs, wedlock and starting family, the child in her still yearned for going back to the craft roots. This passion was consciously groomed by taking formal trainings to learn the nuances of the handicrafts. Visiting museums, Handicraft expos, Craft emporiums, studying the tastes of the international clients and corporates, Interactions with Crafts community and the Craft seekers, gave an enriching insight into the vastness of design opportunities, this domain offered. Geared with this hands on learnings, she took a deep dive into this domain, charged with spectacular ideas ready to unfold.

EthniiChic owns a humble start at the study of her abode and today, the label is thriving with design ideas to the brim and the label is mindfully growing with you.
