Neeta Rajendran, the young entrepreneur behind the fast-growing Sakhi, comes from a telecom engineering background. In spite of good grades and a brief internship in a technology company, she realized that her true potential lies in something that would explore the dynamic and creative side of her personality, which is how Sakhi was ideated.

A true extrovert by nature Neeta enjoys the multiple facets of running a full fledged enterprise which forced her to switch from an intense career to a more artistic one. With the mentorship of her father she took the home run boutique to a scalable business venture with an ambition of expanding and exploring various markets.

With a NIFT diploma to her credit, it has helped a great deal in making Sakhi a success story. Although her elaborate education in engineering did not decide her career path, it imparted to her the process of structural thinking towards making business decisions. She was able to deploy technology in inventory control, financial systems and MIS. She takes pride in being the first in the country to deploy RF ID technology for managing inventory in a fashion store.

Though Neeta had an artistic flair from childhood her objective is to handle the business aspects of Sakhi while the creative side is in the safe hands of her passionate designer mother. Neeta is the fervent entrepreneur with the responsibility of being the quintessential soul behind every fast growing start up.

Looking upon all aspects to make Sakhi a fire brand, Neeta never falls short of ways to make Sakhi an enjoyable and satisfying experience for its customers. She takes credit for also creating the exclusive online store of Sakhi with the goal to transverse boundaries and maintain the same boutique like experience in the virtual world with meticulous detailing to aspects like magnified view etc. Neeta aspires to be ahead of the trend in the niche boutique space, by using technology as a tool to effectively expand client base.

Chandra Raiendran, Head of Design, Sakhi Fashions

Chandra has been a successful Bangalore-based designer for more than 15 years. She has a keen eye for colour and a passion for design. With a modest yet loyal client base of 15 of her friends, designer Chandra first tasted success in the form of a home boutique, something she started as a hobby. Chandra's penchant for innovative design and a refined sense of color ensured her clients frequented her hobby-boutique. Steadily growing, the home run enterprise earned Chandra a name for herself.

What started out as a hobby with 15 clients transformed within a few years into a successful business with Chandra having to juggle between designing and managing the logistics of the growing interest in the home boutique this brought about the need to explore the option of expanding into an exclusive store.

Chandra specializes in what Sakhi calls "wearable design". It is about creating unique designs that make you stand out subtly from the crowd she says. Chandra an embodiment of elegance and grace is a live testament to her creations and chooses to wear them with modesty at several occasions leaving many ladies in awe of her attire and adding them to her clientele.

Chandra keeps looking for inspiration from the world around her constantly - in the every day scenes around her - the peacock she runs into at her holiday or the flower bouquet someone bought. She enjoys this exercise immensely and in her mind, colors and patterns keep churning unceasingly bringing out interesting new creations. She manages the creative engine of Sakhi with aplomb ably assisted by her daughter Neeta who focuses on the business part of the venture.
