Occupation: CEO of UrbanStems
Mom of: A fierce but kind 5 year old girl, Anya
Can you tell us a secret no one would guess about you?
I am a trained Indian classical dancer, and I biked from Amsterdam to Copenhagen – 900kms in 9 days!
One meal you could eat everyday?
A foodie at heart, this would be challenging.ย I love different flavors, textures, aroma but I can eat good sushi all day every day!
One vice you wont give up?
Good wine! I love travelling around the world, and visiting vineyards and learning about wine is something I really enjoy.ย Nothing can beat sipping a glass of champagne in Reims on a crisp sunny day!
Late riser or early bird?
A mom + CEO – I don’t sleep much ๐ but one day when I have the luxury to, I will for sure be a late riser.ย ย
Morning routine you swear by?
Start my morning with a hot cup of homemade masala chai, made the traditional indian way.ย ย
One day I hope…
to see men getting their flowers too. Did you know most men don’t get flowers until their funeral? Flowers make everyone happy, so donโt hold back on gifting flowers to the men in your life.ย ย
More the merrier or less is more?
The more the merrier! More flowers, more dinner parties, more reasons to celebrate.ย
Cool brands you love?
Little Words Project. We just launched a collaboration with them and an event in their NYC and Austin stores – one of which I was able to bring my daughter to. They bring sentimentality to their beautiful, playful jewelry – making them a perfect partner for us this Mother’s Day.
GoldBelly – Foodie at heart, this is my go to gift item for special occasions, and enjoy on those homebound special weekends.ย We just launched a collab with them for Mother’s Day – what’s better than food and flowers?ย ย
Ranavat – Their saffron serum is incredible.ย It has clean ingredients and gives your skin an instant glow.
Laduree – There is nothing better than a laduree macaron sweet treat.
On the horizon: what’s coming soon?
Mother’s Day. UrbanStems‘ superbowl. I’m looking forward to getting out with my daughter Anya to make a few hand deliveries with my courier team to see the smiles we bring to our customers. We’re all about delivering happiness – not just flowers. It’s my favorite work day of the year!
