Pooja Doshi, founder and owner of Miraya Arts
I am a commerce graduate and post that did a course in designing from NIFT, Delhi. I am blessed with a loving and supporting family. My venture Miraya Arts is an outcome of my interest in art and creativity.
“I believe that when Your Passion becomes your profession, it’s a blessing and a dream come true!”
This is true for my venture, Miraya Arts which is a bespoke gifts and gift packaging solutions provider.
My Venture is five years old and completely running on self-funding. To date, we have successfully delivered products and services to more than 800 clients globally. It feels proud to have more than 400 products in my collection and my work supports close to 25 skilled artisans who make our products.
I have a vision to curate and deliver innovative and quality gifts for our clients and organize the gifting sector. Through my work, I aim to promote globally, Indian art and craft and create an ecosystem for our Indian craftsmen.
I am an active member of organizations like the Ficci Flo-Pune chapter and other groups that help in women empowerment and to support Indian art and craft. It was a pleasure to be an active volunteer for Flo Pune Haat 2019 organized by Ficci Flo-Pune Chapter where we brought together 130 Indian craftsmen, artisans, Self-help groups, and women entrepreneurs on one platform to exhibit and promote their talent and skills.
