Growing up, our founder Saumya Agarwal’s world was filled with curiosity and wonder, especially towards science and engineering. These subjects captivated her imagination, and she excelled in them throughout high school, poised to pursue a career in these fields. Yet, as college applications loomed, a different call - a creative impulse - began to resonate more strongly within her.
Faced with a decision, she stood at a crossroads: the structured allure of science or the boundless creativity of fashion? It was a choice that seemed to demand she leave one path entirely for the other. In the end, the vibrant and expressive world of fashion won her heart, but her fascination with technology never left her. Many have asked her why, after years dedicated to physics and chemistry, she would pivot so dramatically to pursue a career in fashion. "Was studying science a total waste?" they’d wonder. Her answer is profoundly no. This shift from the structured world of science to the expressive arena of fashion wasn't just a change of majors—it was the first step towards a dream, a dream that would one day crystallize as Asaaye.
After completing her undergraduate studies at NIFT Bengaluru, she furthered her education at the London College of Fashion. The experience only deepened her appreciation for fashion’s artistry, but the scientist in her yearned for something more—something innovative. Then, one day, an idea struck her, almost as a whisper from her past: Why not merge these two seemingly distant streams? Why not harness the precision and possibilities of technology to revolutionize the craftsmanship and artistry of fashion?
This revelation was the birth of Asaaye—a hope to merge, to bring together the analytical brilliance of technology with the creative spirit of fashion. Join us on this journey where every piece is not just designed but engineered, not just crafted but innovated. Together, let’s redefine the boundaries of what fashion can be.
