Our story

Two cities, one road home

INDIA USA Ahilyanagar Kolhapur Pune San Francisco Chicago

01 · Ahilyanagar & Kolhapur

Two beginnings

Bharati was born and brought up in Ahilyanagar. Aditya was born in Kolhapur and grew up in Pune. Two corners of Maharashtra.

Where it all began

Their paths finally crossed in Pune, where they met for the very first time.

These days

Life eventually brought them both to the US. Today Bharati lives in San Francisco and Aditya in Chicago.

All roads lead home

Now they're coming back to where Bharati's story began, to start a new one together on 28 December 2026.
