About Us

Our Story

Two friends, Sunita Singh and Subhash Kapoor, followed a dream to build something meaningful—something that celebrates beauty and purpose. That’s how Ikkasa was born.

What started as countless conversations over chai turned into a mission: to bring thoughtful, unique, and high-quality home & lifestyle products to people everywhere. Sunita and Subhash believed there was a gap—a space where India’s rich craftsmanship, stories, and regional specialties weren’t being celebrated the way they deserved.

With no big funding or investors, the duo started small, bootstrapping their way to create a brand that values quality, accessibility, and beautiful designs.


What drives us?

At Ikkasa, we believe in:

  1. Thoughtful Design: Products that are simple yet beautiful and add value to daily life.
  2. Accessibility: Luxury doesn’t need to be out of reach. We focus on quality at the right value.
  3. Craftsmanship & Stories: Every product reflects the skill, heart, and stories of the people behind it.

    From our first sale to now offering 600+ product variants across multiple categories, we’ve grown with the support of an incredible community, a talented team of young professionals, and, of course, endless brainstorming sessions.

     

    More Than a Brand!

    Ikkasa is a space for beautiful things, but more importantly, it’s about the people—our artisans, our team, and our customers. It’s about bringing products into your homes that make life just a little more joyful, whether it’s through a handcrafted décor piece or a carefully designed accessory.

    We’re just getting started. With new ideas, fresh categories, and a promise to always keep quality and accessibility at the core, Ikkasa is here to grow, evolve, and inspire.

    From our little family to yours, thank you for being a part of this journey.

    Welcome to Ikkasa—where every product tells a story.

     

    Our Inspiration

    Ikkasa draws its inspiration from various linguistic origins.

    • In Hindi, "ikka" can mean "one" or "unity", reflecting a sense of harmony and togetherness.
    • In Finnish, "ikä" signifies "age", representing the depth of experience and wisdom.
    • In Japanese, "ikka" translates to "household" or "family", symbolising a sense of belonging and comfort within a shared space.
    • 'Kasa' or similar-sounding terms mean 'home' or 'house' in multiple languages around the world!

    With this rich cultural tapestry as its foundation, the Ikkasa team aspires to be a pioneer in offering products and services that transform any space—whether it's where you live or visit—into a familiar and welcoming environment.
