The IRA Story

The IRA Story The Saree Store This is significant to us as it is about reinventing our backyard that is a habitat for squirrels, butterflies, lizards and birds.

Ira is a celebration of our mystical connection with nature; the smell of earth, the whisper of trees, the chirping of birds, the sight of squirrels, the hues of fabric, the intricacy of weaves, the sound of laughter and the feeling of being fully alive. A tale of nature, regeneration and many intuitive minds - our store is built with materials that are environmentally preferable, recyclable and n

atural with a conscious effort to not disturb the existing ecosystem. The result is a store that blends modestly into its surroundings, an ode to the past, equipped for the future. Enthused by the simple art of relaxation, this enchanting space invites you to lean back and unwind. We don’t want to share a belief where we exhibit a pre-set outlook and you tick the boxes, we’ve still left some space for imagination and the unexpected. You are welcome to explore!

Pulling off an event is a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. Right from ensuring that your guests are having a good time, to the entertainment, to the complete planning - it's a task! That's where our superwoman, Raghini Muralidharan comes in. We caught up with her in her office space, Renaissance Event Management, a leading event management company in Chennai. Be it a wedding, a corporate party or even a TV show, she delivers nothing less than perfection and creates lasting memories. Work apart, Raghini gives back to the society with her PEACE organisation, by creating awareness of a child-safe environment.

Passionate. Committed. CREATOR OF A BETTER FUTURE.

Beauty is something that exists in people's souls and the work they do. We celebrate such women of confidence who make everything around them colourful and positive. We caught up with Gowri Adappa, architect and co-founder of the firm - A Design Co. Her unique style and her passion towards creating the perfect space is reflected in every corner of her office space. We loved every bit of our afternoon with Gowri; right from silly jokes, to talking shop to posing for our camera.
Suave. Confident. DETAILED TO PERFECTION

As we wait for our muse, Sanchana natarajan - sanju mohan, aka Sanju, we cant help but wonder if she's like Divya, the character she portrays in 'As I'm Suffering from Kadhal'. A breeze of chirpiness hits us as she walks in to our store lifting the mood instantly. From being a choreographer to a model and now and actor, Sanju is the perfect balance of both worlds. Simple, down to earth, fun and yet when it came down to business, the perfect professional. So much to say that we're now suffering from Kadhal.

Quirky. Happy-go-lucky. WOMAN OF ACTION.

Sanchana looking drop dead gorgeous in our signature Matka Silk collection.

From a dream to visualization, from a concept to realization, from an awakening to ex*****on, Swaroopa is steadfast with an insatiable appetite, taking her business – a leadership search firm, from Hyderabad to the world. It all began with a spark and it has been burning for the past 10 years. It exposes a success that has crossed stages, boundaries and barriers. For her, the world is full of opportunities.


Focused. Go-getter. IN PURSUIT OF PASSION

As we walk into Amrita, a bespoke bridal boutique, we are awed by the hustle and bustle around us. The sounds of the embroidery needles piercing into the fabric to create flawless designs and that of the tailoring machines to create chic garments welcomed us. Sitting amidst all this design, colour and fabric is Prabha Narasimhan, the face of Amrita. Her flair for art and style has definitely made her the queen of blouses. Earlier, we used to match blouses to saris, but thanks to Prabha’s eclectic designs her clients now match their saris to her blouses!

You know for sure when you walk into Amrita, you definitely walk out uber stylish.

From being a part of the travel industry, why the switch to the fashion industry? My passion for textures, fabric, weaves, style and clothing per se was inherent- something close to my heart for many many years.
