In 2021, I built @SangyaProject - Intimacy, Dil se Desi.
Today, all I really want to say is… Dil se thank you.
After 5 amazing years at the helm of building something so deeply personal, it feels like the perfect time to move on to the next chapter of my career and take my love for digital marketing to the next level.
I will always be part of the brave team that pioneered the country’s first Made-in-India v*brator, d*-ldo, plugs, and so much more. In one of the most regulated and misunderstood spaces, that still feels like one of the proudest moments of my entire career.
We began as a brand that people only whispered about.
We ended up on Blinkit, Zepto, and Nykaa.
Journalists were once hesitant to even mention us.
Then came the cover of Sunday Mid-day, features in Vogue, GQ, Man’s World, ELLE, and more - and yes, even winning ELLE’s Wellness Creator of 2025. Sangya grew into a true household name.
Loved by so many.
But most of all, loved by me.
As the brand grew, so did I.
It taught me resilience I didn’t know I had. It taught me how to turn discomfort into honest conversation. It taught me how to build with heart, even when the world wasn’t ready.
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially to something you poured your whole self into.
To every customer who trusted me, every teammate who believed, and every person who helped make this impossible dream real: thank you. Thank you for changing me, for shaping me, and for letting me be part of something that mattered. This chapter ends with pride, love, and the deepest gratitude.
To whatever comes next? Hello, I am Aashish Mehrotra. I can’t wait to build a story with you.
Still feels surreal to go from making Canva posts about flavoured condoms and flagging biased medical research during a pandemic, to being named Sexual Wellness Expert of the Year by @ELLEINDIA
Watching the beauty industry pave the way for Sex Education to find its rightful spot in the discourse around wellness is gamechanging. Last night was not about who won, it was about the fact that enough of us now exist to ensure a new category of awards is introduced.
What a time to be alive and fighting.
