What They’ve Built

The Powder Room — Luxury Beauty, Delivered

Founded and run solely by Vani Talwar Khosla, The Powder Room transformed India’s fragmented bridal and event beauty space into a scalable, professional, luxury service model.

What sets it apart:

Mobile, door-to-door premium hair & makeup services
Highly trained teams with standardised processes
Ability to execute large-scale weddings and time-sensitive luxury events
Trusted partner to five-star hotels, destination weddings, and discerning brides

By combining convenience with reliability, The Powder Room made luxury beauty predictable, consistent, and stress-free — a rarity in its category.

Tidy Up — Where Luxury Ownership Begins After Purchase

Co-founded and jointly managed by Vani Talwar Khosla and Paridhi Sekhri, Tidy Up addresses a powerful yet overlooked insight:

Buying luxury is only half the story. Caring for it is the rest.

Tidy Up is a functional luxury-care brand, not an accessories or wardrobe label. The brand creates:

Premium organisers, shapers, storage, and travel solutions
Products designed to protect, preserve, and extend the life of high-value possessions
A design-led approach blending functionality, sustainability, and refined aesthetics

From handbags and shoes to travel and home collections, Tidy Up enables mindful luxury ownership, bridging the gap between luxury acquisition and long-term care.
