BRAND STORY

KNYA DERIVES ITS NAME FROM THE MUCH ESTABLISHED

SANSKRIT WORD ‘PANCHAKANYA’.

‘Panchakanya’ represents a group of iconic heroines of the Hindu epics, names of which when recited are believed to dispel sin. These women are- Kunti, representing nobility, Ahalya epitomizing beauty, Draupadi representing ferocity, Tara signifying bravery and Mandodari signifying righteousness.

Women bring together the finest aspects of society; the ability to create and the transformational ability to make a difference. Therefore, in today’s war-torn world, we need women to come to the forefront and take more responsibility. When women are determined, they can do wonders. With this ideology in mind and a mission at hand, KNYA was launched in the August of 2017 to give women the wings to achieve their goals and turn dreams into a reality. Drawing inspiration from international trends, but mindful of the Indian modern lifestyle, KNYA believes in superwomen and achieving the impossible.
