O ut of the Apparel category, which item is your personal favourite? I love everything that I create. Designing for pets is my passion. I do it with a lot of love for the pets, as I believe that they deserve the best. W hat do you feel most happy about when you see your own pets wearing your designs? I like to see them in festive and occasion wear like Christmas clothes. D o you regularly upgrade your products? How oft en do you do that? How creative can you be with your range? Yes. We keep upgrading our range on a regular basis. It totally depends on the kind of requests that I receive and on my creative juices. If I get an unusual idea, I try to implement it as soon as I get time. D o you refurbish your old items with some atypical elements? Can you tell us about one such piece? I don’t sell the old stuff with a couple of stars and sequins here and there. Having said that, I do add new elements to the clothes and accessories from time to time. For instance, I have rain capes for pets. Now I am thinking of revamping them and designing them like a full water-proof body suit. W here do you see yourself in the coming years, in this growing market? I see my products in every house in the coming years. It is indeed a humongous market with a great scope for expansion. Even in the initial years, I have been able to achieve so much because of the growth of the domestic and international pet apparel market. I am sure it will upsurge further to a greater level in the near future. D o you have any social agenda on which you work? Any charity services for stray animals, especially in the rainy and winter seasons? Yes, we do have an agenda in place. Our tag line is: ‘Even pets have a Passion for Fashion’. Pets love being taken care of and they reciprocate your behaviour with selfl ess and unconditional love. As all my family members are animal lovers, we have been doing a lot for the stray animals in our area. However, I fi rmly believe that it is not charity if you are fl aunting and boasting about it. We contribute to the shelter homes and take special care of stray animals in the winter and rainy seasons. August 2019 • Vol. XII • Issue 8 • Noida 59 | Creature Companion
