Ritika Singh: Meet the Phenomenal Brand Director of Savour & Aura

Ms. Ritika Singh is the Brand Director of Savour and Aura. With over 6 years of proven management experience in execution and luxury marketing, she has steered Savour and Aura towards recognition and acclaim in a result-orientated environment without compromising on quality and standards.

Starting her career in retail management back in 2014, she worked in multiple luxury retail brand franchises, including the house of luxury Italian brands such as Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Missoni, and many more. She further developed her understanding of the HNI market and luxury clientele while pursuing an MBA in London and simultaneously joining several part-time jobs in luxury retail to understand the consumer perception and brand story that goes into business. It was during lockdown while working from home on an 8-hour job, that she executed
her already existing skills of luxury retail management within the over-25-year-old family business of perfumery, a line she never expected to pursue. Envisioning a new direction, Savour and Aura was created taking Covid as an opportunity as Ritika brought on her skill set of brand development and idea creation to the forefront while utilizing her familiarity with the Genz and millennial identity.

Conceptualized with drive and innovation, Savour and Aura took shape on Ritika’s founding belief that fragrance is a defining extension of one’s personal style and draws inspiration from memories, recalling her own childhood memories of playing with her grandparents in the winter garden amongst the smell of fresh roses in full bloom. Spending months in perfume libraries to recognize the notes of individual fragrances, Ritika recreated the identity of
traditional Indian fragrances into modern perfumes that meet the expectations of today’s urban clientele, while maintaining the purity of chosen ingredients.

Ritika has actualized her vision of luxury perfume curation with a nostalgic yet modern twist,  taking notes from her mother who is a lover of traditional fragrances and wishes to maintain the unique sanctity of traditional Indian blends with a modern essence in a fast-paced changing market. Over the next 5 years, the brand believes in steady growth and having a presence in every metropolitan city with associations of hotels, salons, and designer outlets while opening a flagship store in the future.

New Delhi,  Jan 2023: In India, the baby foods market is still a nascent market. Indian women still prefer to rely on healthy, home-cooked meals for their children, citing requirements such as hygiene and nutrition. And that logic was logical since most baby food available in the market were made somewhere, packaged somewhere and then put on the shelf till bought by customers. In India, mums still prefer to handpick the best ingredients and prepare the best foods for their children. Their kids get only the freshest, healthiest and most nutritious foods. Nadia Sunesra, one of Mother Nurture's founders, has a funny story about 'mothers and the eternal quest for perfect baby food. Twenty years after her first two children were born, she was blessed with a third, beautiful angel. The little girl was a blessing for Nadia, not just as a parent but also because she steered her into her new entrepreneurial venture, Mother Nurture. After the birth of her third child, Nadia had to be quick with what she laughs and calls 'a refresher course'. She had to refresh her memory and prepare baby foods that she had long forgotten how to make. After all, it had been 2 decades since she last had any interaction with growing babies. But as a passionate home chef, she went through the drill, all over again. She and her husband Javed chose the best fresh fruits and vegetables to make and perfect stagesensitive baby food recipes that their little girl loved. And this is how Mother Nurture was born. The brand was created to share Nadia's recipes with the world; baby foods that every parent would love for being fresh, nutritious and trusted in terms of hygiene. Nadia’s recipes were also taste-tested by local mums and with 200+ families before they were ready for the baby foods market. The idea was to source the freshest local and international ingredients and make small batches of foods to retain their goodness. They mastered the taste and texture of each recipe to suit the needs of every child’s stage of development. Since different growth stages have different nutritional needs, and also because certain stages focus more on weaning babies off breastmilk and on making regular foods attractive to them. In other words, Mother Nurture is all about offering tasty wholesome stage-wise nutrition to kids. And that too while keeping up with the evolving needs of modern mums who seek convenience, taste and health for their little ones.
