Company Detail:
Ed-a-Mamma is a completely home-grown brand which has captured a segment of first offering range of thoughtfully designed playwear for children, and continues to dominate, in the short 18 months since the launch.
The brand ethos of Children of Mother Earth reflects the vision of its founder and uses storytelling to catch children young and teach them the importance of conservation. The belief is that if children are taught to love mother earth right from the start, they will always look after something that they love.

"There has been a gap in the market for a children’s clothing brand that is made in India, is conscious yet comfortable, great quality and yet affordable at the same time.”
Alia Bhatt, the founder of Ed-a-mamma, who’s a celebrated actor, philanthropist, investor and now, entrepreneur for this clothing brand.
A few years ago, she started Coexist, an online platform that highlights ecological and animal welfare issues, to learn about what impacts the environment and share her learning’s with others.
She also started ‘Mi Wardrobe is Su Wardrobe’ a closet sharing initiative for charity, roping in friends and colleagues, to expand the scope of conversation around conservation.
When it comes to conservation, Alia believes it’s best to start young and create a generation of mini-planeteers and Ed-a-Mamma is her way of nurturing in children a love of nature.
Being a storyteller, Alia has been working on a series of stories about a little girl and her dog having different adventures, saving the planet from ecological harm. And the apparel line is an extension of this storytelling universe.
