Tsara - The Idea and starting up
In 2010, after Natasha and Tarun got married, the couple attended a close friend’s wedding in Udaipur. While reaching their hotel room after dancing all night, Natasha realized one of the gold badges which she was wearing, was missing. They looked everywhere for it, including going back to the venues and trying to trace all their steps, but it was lost. She didn’t enjoy the remaining part of the wedding as this was always at the back of her mind. When she informed Tarun’s mother about it, they had a discussion and the idea of coming up with a line of jewellery which is premium and yet affordable came into being. Natasha started doing this on her own from home and Tarun joined her to help her expand the business inlate 2016.
