About Me

Namaste! I'm Niiyatii Rathore, the founder of Shahtoot, a heartfelt venture born out of a deep-seated love for sarees and an enduring desire to share that passion with the world. Allow me to take you on a journey through my saree story. 

Growing up in the vibrant city of Ajmer, Rajasthan, sarees were reserved for special occasions in my household. It wasn't until I encountered the graceful elegance of my childhood school principal, Ma'am Madhulika Singh, that I truly fell in love with the art of draping. Her impeccable taste in chiffons paired with a classic fragrance left an indelible mark on my impressionable young mind, igniting a lifelong fascination with sarees and perfumes.

While growing up, it was the influence of my mother and the impeccable style of my sister that deepened my admiration for this timeless garment. Their discerning eye for fashion and meticulous selections inspired me to explore the world of ethnic wear further.

After completing my law degree from Government Law College, Mumbai, I took the time to explore the world of litigation, giving myself ample opportunity to see if it resonated with me. However, it was during my time in Rajasthan that I came to the realisation that my true calling lay in pursuing a creative career. Thus, Shahtoot was born in August 2022, emerging from a humble trunk filled with carefully curated sarees. What started as a thoughtful gesture of gifting sarees to friends soon evolved into a full-fledged endeavour fueled by passion and purpose.

At Shahtoot, each saree is handpicked with love and attention to detail. Drawing inspiration from my personal journey and cultural heritage. From traditional weaves to contemporary designs, every saree tells a story of tradition, beauty, and heritage. 

Sarees hold a special place in my heart, symbolising grace, femininity, and tradition. Through Shahtoot, I aim to share the joy and significance of this iconic garment with women around the globe, empowering them to embrace their cultural heritage with pride and style.

When you visit our website, my hope is that you'll experience not just a shopping journey, but a connection to the stories and craftsmanship behind each saree. We strive to provide exceptional customer service, guiding you through every step of your purchase with warmth, expertise, and care.

Thank you for joining me on this saree sojourn. Together, let's drape ourselves in elegance, one Shahtoot saree at a time. Shukriya!
