Meet Anika Varma Pannu, the founder of Raahi Living—a culmination of her cultural experiences and lifelong passion for creativity. Born and raised in Glasgow, UK, with deep roots in India, Anika's summers spent with family nurtured her connection to her heritage and artistic aspirations.
It was during a serendipitous encounter in Jaipur that the idea for Raahi Living took shape, as she immersed herself in the world of textiles, drawing inspiration from her family's lineage in the design and textile industry. This led to the birth of Raahi Living— which has been a lifetime in the making.
Anika's upbringing in Scotland, summers in India, and having lived in New York City, San Francisco, and Amsterdam have shaped her worldview. Her travels have added depth and vibrancy to her creative vision. From a young age, Anika expressed her artistic inclinations through sketching and collecting treasures in scrapbooks, captivated by patterns and colour.
Today, Anika shares her creative vision with you through Raahi Living. Join her on this journey, embrace your inner raahi (traveller), and discover the wonders that await.
