RISHIKA AGARWAL

For Rishika, Shivka is a dream for Indian fashion and jewelry to stand proudly on the global stage — appreciated for what it is, and what it can mean to the world. She sees Shivka as her treasure box, one she fills with her craft, emotions, and the many stories that shape her. Her designs are one-of-a-kind, heirloom-like, and driven by a love for variety and artistry. At her core, she wants Shivka to become a powerhouse for Indian jewelry worldwide.

To Rishika, luxury is no longer defined by big names — it’s defined by owning who you are. Her aesthetic is raw Indian: untouched by Western cues, inspired instead by the soulful India she knows. Think of a 1990s wedding, motifs from a regal old palace, or a Konkan farmland where quartz crystals glimmer under the sun — that’s the world her designs come from.

Rishika herself has always been a quiet rebel. She stepped beyond family expectations to study at Hindu College, Delhi in 1991, earning her B.Sc in Chemistry Honours. A science-driven student who loved maths, video games, and even the stock market, she eventually found her calling in fashion and jewelry — guided by the legacy of strong, expressive women in her family. Women rooted in Indian classical arts, dance, music, and self-assured personal style.

To her, fashion is not about big labels or trends. It begins with knowing yourself. Shivka is shaped by Rishika’s beliefs, her spirituality, and her deeply personal sense of style. It draws from the richness of India — not a westernised or exoticised version of it — but the India she knows: modern, progressive, and rooted in its own quiet strength. A culture that evolves yet preserves its stories, traditions, and craft. Shivka carries that essence forward in a way that feels authentic at home, and resonant across the world.

Rishika hopes you enjoy discovering Shivka — and that you stumble upon pieces that feel like they were always meant for you.

With love,

Rishika
