Design means "a decorative pattern" and Gaatha is a Hindi word for "stories". Keeping the same philosophy in mind, every product handcrafted at Design Gaatha has a story behind it; inspired by our rich heritage & culture.

Our Story
With adjacent seats for almost three and a half years in the same organization Gap Inc (Delhi), Nidhi and Kritika often used to discuss about their entrepreneurial aspirations. Sharing the same hometown Ranchi, they always had an unsaid connect & the two become very good friends in no time. Chit chat over evening snacks and dinner get-together helped add up to the strong bond.
Due to pre-occupied office schedule, they never happened to explore their entrepreneurial aspirations. However, things were destined differently. Soon after leaving their jobs for different personal reasons, their paths crossed again and gave shape to their ambitions in the form of Design Gaatha Home & Living. With a sole moto to bring DESIGNER home and living products to everyone’s reach, the two joined hands to build the exclusive home décor brand Design Gaatha where every design is inspired by our rich heritage and culture.

She has had an inherent love and interest towards art & creativity throughout her life.

She has been exhibiting her fine art for almost a decade now in different galleries and academies of New Delhi.

She believes that data analytics is a must in today’s era across all the industrial segments and can add a lot of value to decision making and derivations. A content writer by hobby,one of her close-to-heart dreams is to write a book before her age clock ticks 50. This basket of unmatched skills gave Design Gaatha its Co-founder & Managing Director.

Nidhi and Kritika both have zero compromise towards quality. Every product at Design Gaatha is scrutinized thoroughly before bringing up in the market. Their sole goal is to bring premium quality & designer products to market which are easy to care at home and can solve both aesthetics and utility purpose.
