Meet the Founder of Paudhaa

I started Himalayan Exotica because I felt our city life was becoming too distant from the calm that nature provides. To me, plants aren't stock inventory; they are living things that deserve care. Whether it is a small desk succulent or a large-scale corporate greening project for a client like Reliance or Hyatt, my approach remains the same. It is about creating a healthy, breathing environment.

At our Navi Mumbai studio, Paudhaa, I spend my days repotting, designing vertical walls, and mixing soil-less coco-peat blends that make indoor plant maintenance easier for you. You don’t need a green thumb to keep my plants alive. I purposefully select hardy varieties like Syngonium and Pothos for my gifting kits because I want your gift to last, not wither away after a week.

When we work together on a custom gift or a landscape project, we discuss everything from the pot finish—be it ceramic or high-grade melamine—to the specific branding decals you might need. I love the creative challenge of miniature dish gardens, layering colored sand, and picking the right figurines to make them unique. My goal is simple: when you or your recipient sees the plant, I want that genuine 'wow' reaction. If you want to talk about your space or need a gift that grows, let’s chat.
