Shirika Bansal & Shreem Creations


           


Born into a typically Marwari family from Calcutta, decoration and presentation of gifts and food, as well as table décor was always an integral part of Shirika’s household. And this is where her love for all things pretty began! What began as packing gifts for family and friends gradually turned into a profession as the word spread.

Shirika realized she had an eye to spot beautiful things and a knack to source them at good prices. She decided to start a venture of customizing gifts for various occasions to suit her clients’ needs, while also suiting their budgets. Her business started with baby announcements which continues to be her favourite till date. 

Having always worked from home, Shirika’s main challenge was lack of space and not having a retail outlet. This was eventually what made her foray into a wholesale model. How much time to commit to the business was something she needed to figure out. Networking and how to exhibit were some of the other challenges she faced. Shirika considers herself lucky to have found the support she needed to make her venture a success.

The name Shreem was chosen to represent Goddess Lakshmi. I wanted the name to convey the concepts of beauty, elegance, grandeur and happiness that resonated with the products offered.

Shirika has a 10-year-old son and enjoys reading, connecting to different spiritual modalities and meditation.

Ankita Gupta- The Person Behind New Age Mompreneurs

Image
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

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.
