Suniti’s enthusiasm for conscious capitalism has underscored her every academic and professional pursuit. Highlights include graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, with merchandising stints at the houses of Zac Posen, Rag & Bone, Launch Collective, and Olivia Miller.

Returning to India in 2013 focused her energy towards impact. In the last decade, her role as Brand Director helped build Border&Fall––a creative agency and digital publication––for seven years from the ground up. Whether through documenting craft at grassroots, profiling designers like Sabyasachi Mukherjee, or incubating first-mover and legacy brands in their hour of need, Suniti has been instrumental in championing the country’s top talent.

Her most recent full-time role involved leading communications for Swadesh, an artisan-forward multi-category brand within Reliance Retail’s portfolio. As a labour of love, she co-authored Hidden Kingdom, a children’s book written in verse––supported by a grant from National Geographic––whose readership spans 15 countries. She has also taught Luxury & Fashion Management at MBA-ESG, a Paris-based business school with campuses in India.

Lighter is an evolution of Suniti’s trajectory, where she intends to continue shaping culture and navigating the intersection of profit and purpose.
