How It Began

The idea to open the AnanTaya store was conceptualized by Geetanjali Kasliwal when she was expecting her second daughter in the year 2006. A fervent connoisseur of traditional Indian culture and admirer of beautiful things, Geetanjali was spellbound looking at the craftsmanship of artisans. She, along with her husband Ayush Kasliwal, who is a world-renowned designer and owner of AKFD, made efforts to create a treasure trove of contemporary crafted ideas in the form of AnanTaya.

The Experiential Store

The products, ranging from lamps to mirrors and opulent desk accessories to exquisite table accents, narrate the tale of timeless aesthetic décor. The experiential store is essentially a craft and culture institute engaging artisans which form the ecosystem.
