About this episode

When craftsmanship meets cultural storytelling, it creates more than just adornment—it shapes identity. That’s exactly what Himani Mantri Grover, founder of the internationally acclaimed design label ‘Chicory Chai,’ has done through her handcrafted jewelry. Based in Delhi, Himani is an influential voice in the Indian design scene, with her work having adorned notable personalities including Shah Rukh Khan and featured on global platforms. We had the opportunity to speak with her during her recent visit to Goa, where she was invited as a panelist at ‘What Are My Choices?’—the flagship annual career guidance event hosted by People’s High School. The event aims to expose students to diverse and often overlooked career pathways, and Himani represented the creative field of jewelry design, a domain where passion, cultural sensitivity, and innovation converge. Himani shared her journey of building Chicory Chai, the challenges of being a creative entrepreneur, and how Indian craftsmanship continues to influence global design narratives. #HimaniMantriGrover #IndianDesign #CulturalDesign #HandcraftedJewelry #CreativeCareers #JewelryDesign #CareerInDesign #ChicoryChai #PeopleHighSchool #InspiringMinds #ArtMeetsCraft #FutureDesigners #WomenInDesign #DesignEntrepreneur #IndianCraftRevival #Inspiration #CreativeJourney #MadeInIndia #SustainableDesign #DesignMatters #CreativeIndia #CareerInspiration #StudentVoices
