HARPER'S BAZAAR, MARCH 2026

What is the most inspiring thing about womanhood to you?
The most inspiring thing about womanhood to me is its layered strength. Tripat, my grandmother, my eternal muse was the one who first showed me what true womanhood looks like.
She was a school principal, ambitious and self assured at a time when women were rarely encouraged to be either. She expressed herself through her jewellery, wearing it as an extension of her identity and a celebration of who she was, which ultimately inspired me to create my brand.
Growing up in her presence, I understood that womanhood is ambitious yet authentic, accomplished yet generous, always uplifting and embracing others along the way.
How has being a woman shaped how you run your business?
Being a woman has shaped my business in the most fundamental way. I lead with empathy and sincerity, because that is what I saw growing up.
The women in my life taught me that strength does not require harshness. So in my business, I focus deeply on relationships and how I treat my people. You can build something ambitious and still nurture the people who help you build it.
How has jewellery empowered your own sense of womanhood?
Jewellery has empowered my sense of womanhood as a form of self expression. It is something I carry into my everyday life, each piece holding a deeper personal meaning. When I wear jewellery, I feel connected to my lineage, as if I am carrying stories on my skin. Some days it feels like armour, on others a celebration, and often it is a source of reassurance.
What do women need the world to understand most about womanhood and feminism in 2026?
What women need the world to understand in 2026 is that feminism is not an attack, and it is not a quest for superiority. It is simply a call for equality. At its core, it is humanism expressed by a woman. It is about standing alongside, not above. Womanhood is the freedom to be who you want to be, to live authentically and make choices without fear of judgment. That freedom of choice is not a privilege. It is our right.
