I'm going to be honest with you.

I grew up in a small town. And my dream my actual dream was never this big.

I just wanted to be independent.
To not need anyone's money.
To not have to ask.

That's all I wanted. That felt like the biggest thing in the world to me.

I didn't have Forbes on my vision board.
I didn't even know I was allowed to.

And today Forbes Asia 30 under 30.

I've been staring at this and crying for the last 10 minutes because I genuinely don't have the words. This isn't just an achievement. This is that small town girl realising she somehow ended up somewhere she never even let herself dream of.

To everyone who saw something in me before I saw it in myself I hope I'm making you proud. 🤍

On this Yoga Day, I’d like to thank yoga for always accepting me back after months of being “too busy.” 🫠

Excited to expand Kidbea across more kids retail stores in India. 🚀

Building a kidswear brand has one unexpected side effect.

You start noticing babies everywhere.

At airports.
In restaurants.
At malls.

And you’re not looking at the baby.
You’re looking at: the fit, the fabric, how the clothes sit when they move.

You can’t switch it off. Not sure if that’s a good thing or just occupational hazard 😅

[Ankita Rani @i_ankitasingh]

Three days at Canton Fair.

The scale doesn't impress. The clarity does.

You stop seeing booths. You start seeing supply chains.

The fabric exists. The factories exist.
The only question worth asking: how fast can we control it.
We have answers now.

Building Kidbea's next chapter - vertically integrated, fabric-led, built to last.

My maid is on leave.
Her replacement is amazing kind, hardworking, cooks so well ❤️

She told me she used to work with Snabbit… but left.

Why?
“The app is too difficult. OTP samajh nahi aata. Log help karne ke instead complain kar dete hain.”

That stayed with me.

So many capable people are getting left out… just because tech isn’t simple enough.

@just_snabbit maybe it’s time to build for them too.

2021: stopped taking money from parents for literally anything 💸

2025: got married → first anniversary

Dad asked what gift I want, I said nothing
he still sent money anyway

so I bought THIS dress

Dad: “gold kyu nahi liya?” 💀
Papa… i AM the gold ✨”

I have activated DND on Axis app still getting calls every hour from 9 to 7 😭

Even if I reject, they call again.

I don’t need anything, I’ll reach out if I do.
How do I stop this?? @AxisBank @AxisBankSupport

This sculpture said: “skip the details, I’m just here to vibe and take up space”

meanwhile I’m overthinking my entire life like it’s a full-time job 😭

Reading this and suddenly remembered I’ve called the police 4 times for noise 😭

I live in a full-time mall + restaurant + traffic zone, so by the time I actually try to sleep, even a spoon drop sounds like a concert.

My friends now: “bhai yeh har baat pe police bula leti hai” 💀

But credit where it’s due - they actually show up in ~9 mins and provide the solution as well.

Main bas shanti se late sona chahti hoon, baraat ke beech nahi 🙂

11pm construction opposite society. Called Pune police. Police came in 17 minutes. Ask them to shut it off. Thanks @PuneCityPolice for quick action.
