Nisha Nair: Founder of Yamini Lifestyles

Welcome to my journey as a woman entrepreneur and the founder of Yamini Lifestyles, where we blend the elegance of Indian handcrafted jewelry with a mission to empower women and support artisans across the country. My story is rooted in resilience, determination, and a deep commitment to creating a positive impact.
After spending 13 years in the corporate world, I made a pivotal decision in 2017 to transition into entrepreneurship. As a proud fauji wife, I have navigated the challenges of frequent relocations and the unique demands that come with supporting a military family. This journey has shaped my approach to business and my dedication to fostering a culture of inclusivity and support for other women.
At Yamini Lifestyles, our flagship brand, Aitihya, embodies the spirit of Indian craftsmanship. We prioritize fair wages and create a nurturing environment for our artisans, celebrating their skills and dedication. By buying directly from artisans, we not only support their livelihoods but also ensure that our products reflect their artistry and cultural heritage.
We also empower and train women from various communities in quality control, jewelry manufacturing, and assembly, fostering skills that uplift families and communities. Our commitment extends beyond craftsmanship; it includes uplifting communities through mentorship programs with organizations like the Madhya Pradesh Association of Women Entrepreneurs (MAWE).
My work has not only been about building a brand but also about uplifting communities. We source materials ethically, and by partnering with artisans, we contribute to local economies, ensuring that our venture creates livelihoods and fosters sustainable practices.
