Karishhma Arora and Arshiv & I

 


 


When the lockdown happened in 2020, Karishhma’s biggest concern was how to keep her three-year-old productively occupied. She explored a number of options but couldn’t find something which involved learning in a creative fun-filled way.

Thus, was born Arshiv & I; an attempt to home school her toddler.

After a few discussions with the Montessori teachers, Karishhma put together a preschool binder for her son, which was highly appreciated by a group of friends. Before she knew it, there was a growing demand for the binders.

Karishhma never started out wanting to be a mompreneur but with the tremendous support and appreciation of fellow moms, she realised this was a great business opportunity which would allow her to do what she loved doing best- teaching little minds. With less than a year into the enterprise, Karishhma is launching a new product almost every month.

Despite the apprehension of starting a new venture, the journey has been remarkably smooth. Especially keeping in mind that Karishhma works remotely from Zurich and her team handles the logistics in India.

Karishhma decided to name the venture after her son Arshiv since the entire project was created because of him. She would have never explored this avenue had it not been for him.

Karishhma loves baking exotic cakes and desserts as well as designing new kits and binders for kids.

 

At present Arshiv & I offers pre-school binders starting from 18 months onwards, to toddler learning kits, cognitive development busy books for 5+ age group, an activity box just for learning how to read and write Hindi, interactive calendars for pre schoolers, phonics workbook and lots more.

 

Their next product is going to be a workbook for teaching children how to tell time in an interactive way.

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 ...

                     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. Her parents were a huge support for her during this time. Looking back, Anu wonders how she managed and she is proud of the fact that...
