It added that in addition to being featured on e-commerce sites like Myntra, Nykaa Fashion, FirstCry, Tata Cliq, AJIO, and Amazon, it sells products through its website.
“We are thrilled to have Dia on board in a multi-pronged capacity. Our vision is focused on ensuring that organic clothing for kids becomes normative rather than an exception. With someone as relatable, credible and successful as Dia as our ambassador, we have no doubt that our message will reach far and wide,” Barkha Bhatnagar Das said.
The company is co-founded by two sisters, Meghna Kishore and Barkha Bhatnagar Das who have a strong sense of purposeful living and environmental consciousness.
