Her Circle Bizruptors: Prakruthi Rao & Akshara Mehta – Founders, Juhu Beach Studio

Prakruthi Rao and Akshara Mehta were always entrepreneurial, aiming to begin something they could call their own. Harnessing their creativity, the duo teamed up and transformed their dreams into reality with Juhu Beach Studio. The studio makes customised lifestyle accessory products from textile waste.

Prakruthi and Akshara believe that Mumbai has a treasure trove of ‘katran’ or textile waste, and use this wealth of raw material to create products that are unique and appreciated by their consumers. Their customised accessories are widely used at weddings, workshops, film promotions and for corporate gifting. Though young, Prakruthi and Akshara have carved a unique niche for themselves.
