"Maintain a proper balance between professional and personal life."

Women’s love for jewellery never ends. When a beautiful piece of jewellery placed in front of her, no one can stop her from picking it. After completing her graduation, Anjali started her career at Novartis Pvt Ltd as a statistical analyst. She worked for a year and then decided to quit the job. Quitting a well-paying job was one of the biggest decisions she took in her life. After coming back to hometown, she wanted to make use of her time and talent. This is when she pondered upon the idea of doing something of her own where she will get full freedom to work and achieve self-economic independence.

This thought was the seed for Advaita. Anjali has always been fond of artwork and found potential in creating a handmade jewelry. She started this brand with few paper earrings and created a page on Facebook to upload the pictures of her creations. Now, she sells on several ecommerce websites making her brand a household name.
