Anu Jain & Meraki by a.n.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 11th 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 she did. However, just when things were taking off, family pressures caused her to shut shop in just two months.

Thereafter Anu joined as a store manager for Vintage Earth, six months after which she got married. She had her first child after two years of marriage and that is when she began to realise that she needed to do something for herself.

Anu’s husband supported her a lot in starting her business. And so, Meraki by a.n.s. was born. Meraki comes from a Greek word meaning ‘doing something with a sense of pride’; a labour of love to put it simply.

It’s now five years since this happened and like any businessperson, Anu too has seen her share of ups and downs. The toughest challenge for Anu is juggling between her son’s schedule and her business. Living in a joint family also means that she needs to be there when required. Time always seems to be scarce!

Anu loves exploring new styles as she is always on the lookout to grow her business.
