Ruchi Mehta is an enterprising person with an aura of positive energy around her, which makes it easy for anyone to start a conversation with her. She has a BSc in Biosciences from University of Auckland NZ.

Whether you are an experienced painter, or just looking to explore your creative side, you are sure to go home with a painting that is uniquely yours.

What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

The Paint Social (TPS) started in May 2016, is the brainchild of entrepreneur Ruchi Mehta (Biotech & MBA graduate). It is her passion for painting as a hobby that led to the creation of TPS.

TPS started off very first session by inviting friends to try it out, and most of them said they are “not creative”, “we are only here for food & drinks”, but in the end, they all enjoyed and painted!

To their surprise, they found this session to be fun, distressing and therapeutic. They highly encouraged us to do this again, and we decided to incorporate TPS to take this to the next level.
