This story about the brand is for those who thought they have no funds to start their business. If you sprinkle with passion, vision and love: you can start anywhere, with anything you got. While at Amazon India Fashion Week 2018, I was taking a stroll in the lounge area and making myself comfortable with all the stylish designs that I was able to understand a little ('cause it was my first time) a quote that I have seen on Instagram feed a few times caught my eyes.
I remember the first thing I did was take a picture on my phone and then started looking inside the cabin with the hope that I would see the designer. A lady introduced me to this charming face talking to someone a little far from the cabin, with salt and pepper hair, half of it was pinned. And that lovely smile! It made me comfortable, feel the warmth and I wanted to know everything about her - that was NUPUR.

Here is what Nupur has to say about the brand, in her own heartfelt words (exclusive to SSU) -
I am a fashion major in textiles and clothing. A masters of science in textiles from Lady Irwin College and have studied Indian handicrafts from NIFT. "Creating" for my brad is my meditation and my way of living. I have named my handbags and accessories after:
A- Adrash (my mother) N- Nupur A-Ananya (my daughter )
My mother taught me grace and my daughter is a reason I look forward to in life.
ANA .... in Spanish means: grace
NAYA ..... in Hindi means: new
ANANAYA means "eternal yet evolving"
In Sanskrit: there is a Doha: which mentions ANANAYA for Meera's devotion to Krishna and her evolving love for Krishna every moment, stronger than the moment gone by.This is what keeps me going.
Apparently, ANANAYA has been recognized and awarded on many platforms. It is clearly for those impeccable, classy designs that are low key rooted with eternal Indian ethnic touch.
