Nitasha Gupta




The Covid pandemic has turned our lives upside down and shown us the importance of physical and mental health, more than ever. One of the best ways to destress is through yoga and spirituality.

Our mompreneur, Nitasha started yoga when she was five years old. She strongly believes that yoga benefits the body and mind to maintain balance and helps us become one with our basic nature. She has also trained as a Kathak dancer and experienced the benefits of being physically flexible as well as developing tremendous patience.

In 2007, Nitasha experienced something terrible which changed her world. This event turned her to Buddhism and a study of the Bhagwad Gita. These were life altering experiences for Nitasha and she started her yoga and meditation classes from 2013. She started out taking yoga classes for her mother and her friends, with a small group of 15 ladies. The benefits that her students experienced, cemented her belief that yoga was the way to ground oneself spiritually and mentally.

In 2015 Nitasha had a baby boy who needed to be hospitalized on the 6th day of his birth due to jaundice. His bilirubin levels were extremely high and doctors had indicated that a blood transfusion might be required. This is when Nitasha took a pledge to spread spiritual messages and help people who are going through tough times to get back on track. Her prayers were answered and her baby recovered without needing a transfusion. Today he is a happy and healthy boy of almost 5 and does yoga with her on a regular basis and is also interested in meditation.

Nitasha remembers one client in particular- a small girl suffering from Down’s Syndrome... She started seeing her when she was 10 years old (5 years ago). At the beginning her facial features were very distorted and doctors had said she would never get her menses. Nitasha took then as a challenge and gradually the child’s facial features improved and as she got came the age of puberty, she got her menses, against all odds. Nitasha gives credit to yoga for this.

Nitasha also paints and is a trained classical dancer. She has performed nationally and internationally with Padamshree Shovana Narayan and continues to dance for personal enjoyment. She is a lawyer by profession and left full time work after her baby was born. She also loves to cook.

Nitasha says that yoga and the Gita changed her life completely.

Ankita Gupta started Mamma’s Kitchen to provide healthy and tasty baked goods to people across all ages. Being a big foodie, she’s always had an interest in cooking and baking. In pre Covid times, Ankita loved hosting parties and get-togethers and was used to cooking and baking desserts for house parties which sometimes went up to 30-40 people. Experimenting with food is her forte. She would pick a new recipe every time and tweak it, replacing the unhealthy ingredients with healthy ones. Needless to say, her guests loved her efforts and the food. When Ankita was trying to conceive, she discovered she had PCOS which was hindering the process. It was then that she switched completely from junk food to healthy cooking alternatives. When her twins were born, she followed the one year no sweet and salt rule for them but the entire family has a sweet tooth and Ankita didn't want the kids to miss out on the delights of desserts. This is where her healthy baking journey began. Ankita s

                     Anu had always been inclined towards sketching, drawing and painting since her childhood while her mother was inclined towards clothes and fashion. So, it was no surprise when Anu ended up taking fashion design as a subject in 11 th grade. Anu always had a lot of questions in her mind. What was she here? What was the purpose of her life? What could she do which would be different from the norm? She had a deep desire to prove something to herself. After completing her graduation, Anu took admission in Pearl Academy of Fashion for a one-year postgraduate course in Fashion Merchandising. Alongside this she started her own workshop at Shahpur Jat. Anu handled everything; from finding the place for the workshop to setting up a team of tailors, to buying machines and raw materials.

Chitwan Mohan and Cuddles_by_ChitwanMohan

                      From the time she completed her fashion course at Parsons, Chitwan knew that designer clothing was the line she wanted to get into. She started with womenswear in 2011 and then ventured into menswear in 2016. Whenever Chitwan visited the fabric markets for men’s fabrics, she would find herself staring at the cute kids’ fabrics and would wish that she could do something in that line. She would pick up fabrics for her son’s nightwear and shirts and they turned out really well; every time he wore them, her family would encourage her to consider venturing into this as a side business and gauge the response. Chitwan began small in 2020 and then there was no looking back. This isn’t a side business anymore. Chitwan is extremely passionate about it and doing kids' wear in particular makes her extremely happy. Moreover, she has discovered a staunch support system in the form of her mommy clients. It helps that Chitwan considers entrepreneurship to be in her blood.
