Our Story
Amrai’s co-founders, Gunjan Gupta and Samir Wadekar bring a dynamic synergy that drives the brand’s mission to celebrate and revitalise Indian craftsmanship.
Gunjan Gupta: Gunjan is the driving force behind Amrai’s collaboration with the artisans of Kutch. With a deep respect for traditional methods and a keen understanding of the artisan community, she actively engages with local craftsmen and women. Gunjan challenges them to rethink their approach, encouraging innovation while preserving their heritage techniques. Her interactions are not just about maintaining the status quo but inspiring the artisans to experiment and push their creative boundaries. Through her leadership, Amrai provides a platform for these artisans to reinvent traditional crafts and find new ways to express their artistry in the modern marketplace.
Samir Wadekar: Complementing Gunjan’s deep connection with the artisans is Samir, whose innate talent and passion for design shape the aesthetic vision of Amrai. With an exceptional eye for detail and a flair for merging traditional and contemporary styles, Samir plans and develops the design and presentation of each product. Under his guidance, Amrai’s collections are more than just decor; they are masterpieces that tell a story, each crafted under his meticulous direction to ensure that they resonate with both connoisseurs of art and lovers of functional design.
We drive this brand with a mission where every creation from Amrai honours the legacy of Indian craftsmanship while appealing to a global audience.
