A Proud Moment at the House of Commons
Being recognized at the House of Commons is not just a personal milestone—it’s a symbol of how far Monalisa Sarees has come. I am incredibly honored and grateful to Rashmi Mishra of Inspiring Indian Women (IIW) and the entire IIW team for this prestigious recognition. Meeting so many inspiring individuals at the event was a truly humbling experience.

A Week of Wins and Gratitude
In the span of just one week, I was named a finalist for one award and the proud recipient of another—Best Entrepreneur Award 2024. These acknowledgments are a reflection of years of hard work, unwavering dedication, and the collective support of my co-businesses, loyal customers, and an amazing community that has stood by me. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

How It All Began – From a Small Town and a Big Dream
Fourteen years ago, Monalisa Sarees began with just two sarees and a dream. I was inspired by my mum, who ran a small boutique in a quaint Indian town. Watching her serve customers with grace, style, and kindness planted the seeds of entrepreneurship in me. My love for South Asian fashion and community was born right there.

A Turning Point: Fashion Meets Purpose
Everything changed when I became a mother. Searching for the perfect outfit for my daughter’s first birthday, I realized there was a significant gap in the online South Asian fashion market. That moment sparked a mission—to create a space where tradition meets modernity, where culture is celebrated through style, and where every woman feels empowered and beautiful.

The Vision of Monalisa Sarees
Today, Monalisa Sarees is more than just a fashion brand. It’s a movement—a platform that creates unique shopping experiences for women across the globe while staying deeply rooted in heritage. We are proud to be a brand built by women, inspired by women, and created for women.

Looking Ahead: A Journey That Continues
From a small-town girl with a dream to receiving recognition at the House of Commons, this journey has been nothing short of magical. But this is just the beginning. We are committed to continuing our mission of celebrating South Asian culture through fashion and uplifting the voices and stories of women around the world.
