Empowering Women Through Fashion and Entrepreneurship


Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?

Sangeetha Narayanan: From a very young age, I had the desire to become an entrepreneur. I never liked the idea of working under someone — I always wanted to be my own boss. More importantly, I dreamed of creating employment opportunities for struggling women. That vision laid the foundation for Ekaika Boutique.


Great Companies: What are the various services provided by Ekaika Boutique?

Sangeetha Narayanan: At Ekaika Boutique, we specialize in:

  • Aari work blouses

  • Designer blouses

  • Kurtis and suits stitching


We focus on providing customized, high-quality ethnic fashion that reflects both tradition and modern elegance.



Great Companies: What makes Ekaika Boutique different from hundreds of other similar service providers?

Sangeetha Narayanan: What makes us stand out is our customer-centric approach. We offer:

  • Pick-up services from the customer’s home via Dunzo or in person

  • Competitive pricing

  • Doorstep delivery or courier services


We even cater to clients across India and in countries like Malaysia. Our convenience, quality, and affordability have helped us build a loyal customer base.


Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?

Sangeetha Narayanan: I faced many struggles — one of the biggest was lack of support from my own family. At one point, I had to shut down my business for an entire year.


But things changed. With renewed encouragement from my family, I restarted Ekaika Boutique. That support gave me newfound confidence to move forward stronger than ever.


Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for Ekaika Boutique?

Sangeetha Narayanan: My dream is to export Aari work blouses internationally, especially to countries where Indian weddings are celebrated. I am actively attending business meetings, networking, and staying ready for the right opportunity. I’m confident that in five years, Ekaika Boutique will have a global footprint.


Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?

Sangeetha Narayanan: Start with your passion — let that guide your business idea. Begin small, like I did, and then grow gradually. Keep learning by attending seminars and industry events to stay updated. The journey will be tough, but staying true to your vision makes it worth it.
