The most successful founders are those who turn their passion into purpose. That’s certainly the case for Shobitam co-founders and sisters Aparna and Ambika.

We have stuck to our mission and vision from day one. Every decision that we have taken so far is led by our principle of being “Weavers First & Customer First”. Finally, we love our culture with strong values where we not only “Work Hard” but “Play Harder” to have fun as a team!

When we started Shobitam in 2019 as a passion project, we did not envisage all this. We aimed to create a shopping experience that we could not find. An experience that brought back all the good memories associated with our homeland. Our technology-backed approach led us to the right avenues quite early on in the business.

Today the heartfelt notes from our customers, weavers, and employees help us in pushing ourselves harder.
