Anya Josh — Handmade Candles & Gifts Online

I’m Yamuna, a former senior software developer. During my pregnancy, I was overwhelmed with fear and anxiety about labor and motherhood. To keep my mind occupied, I started creating earrings for myself while still working. This creative hobby brought me immense joy and positivity during that challenging time.

After my delivery, during my maternity leave, I continued designing customized earrings as a hobby. When friends and relatives saw my work, they appreciated the quality and unique designs, and soon, they started requesting pieces for themselves.Their encouragement inspired me to explore this passion further.

When my baby turned six months old, I found myself unable to return to my previous job, as I needed to prioritize caring for my little one. However, I was determined to pursue something meaningful. That’s when I decided to turn my hobby into a business. From my home studio, I expanded my collection to include candles, home decor, and other handmade products. What started as a way to overcome my fears has now blossomed into both my profession and my passion. Today, I take pride in creating unique, handcrafted items that bring joy to others.
