“Over the years, Namrata’s experience of being an entrepreneur and industry professional has provided her with a robust skill set in marketing, content strategy, consumer growth and strategic business development. She has been privy to numerous distribution partnerships and celebrity endorsements, which has made her leader par excellence in her segment of exclusive and elusive artisanal accessories. So for me to accept her partnership was a no brainer because I am sure together we can make magic”- says Malaika.

Namrata commenting on this partnerships says, “Malaika continues to represent a diverse set of businesses across categories such as Fashion, Food & Beverage, Ayurveda, Skincare, Fitness, FMCG, and many more. Malaika epitomizes grace and class. By following her passion and staying true to her ethos, Malaika has also become an example of breaking stereotypes in the film industry. With changing times, she has reinvented herself into many new avatars and built a strong social media presence.

Her authenticity in yoga, fitness, food choices, lifestyle and fashion remain undisputed.

She posts fashion tips, her fitness regime, offers healthy food advice and also jumps on to trending reels. On numerous occasions, she has been seen sporting Ahikoza bags because the brand has been her favorite for a while in terms of exclusive fashion and therefore this marriage was inevitable. Malaika and Namrata met to discuss how Malaika’s allegiance and Namrata’s business acumen can come together and make Ahikoza the new Indian sensation and the rest is history.

The India launch of Ahikoza comes after the brand has already made its presence felt among celebrities and the elite. The exclusive brand has been a go-to choice for many big names. One of the prime reasons why big names love the brand is its attention to detail. Each product is finessed to the user’s personal choice. Namrata ensures that the products are very chic, sophisticated, trendy and always in style. Ahikoza’s distinctive candy-colored clutches remain a coveted accessory in the wardrobes of many Indian celebs including Malaika.
