STOTRAM was founded by Kavita Taparia and Ankit Taparia, bringing together two complementary perspectives and a shared vision for creating a distinctive voice in luxury Indian fashion.

With a postgraduate degree in Fashion Business and roots in traditional couture, Kavita brings an instinctive understanding of Indian occasionwear — from intricate embroidery and textiles to the craftsmanship and detail that define couture. Her design sensibility draws from tradition while embracing a contemporary understanding of luxury.

Ankit, a postgraduate in Family Business Management and an entrepreneur with experience across multiple businesses, brings a strong business and entrepreneurial perspective to STOTRAM. While his journey into fashion was not rooted in a traditional fashion background, his understanding of luxury, craftsmanship and the creative process has been shaped through years of working closely with the brand.

Together, their perspectives form the foundation of STOTRAM — Kavita's creative and couture expertise complemented by Ankit's entrepreneurial and business acumen. This balance allows the brand to approach every creation with equal consideration for design, craftsmanship and purpose.

Today, STOTRAM is known for its distinctive design language, intricate embroidery and exceptional craftsmanship, with a particular focus on one-of-one couture and highly customised pieces. Each creation is designed to feel personal, rare and considered, with craftsmanship remaining at the heart of the process.

Luxury isn't about creating more. It's about creating something that feels truly yours.

— Kavita & Ankit Taparia
