About the founder

I’m Pooja, the founder of STUDIO VIKARA and a strategist for those navigating the high-stakes cycles of change.

For seven years, I lived in the 'cocoon'—the quiet, often painful phase of identity demolition that comes with motherhood, career shifts, and personal evolution. What I discovered is that most people aren't stuck; they are simply lacking the tools to anchor themselves during the storm.

The Birth of Studio Vikara

Much like a butterfly, I began as a "caterpillar"—naïve and spontaneous—going through a period of self-reflection in my own cocoon. I faced an identity crisis, questioning who am I now.

So, I founded STUDIO VIKARA to bridge that gap. We don’t just create candles; we engineer Ritual Anchors. Every scent and wooden-wick flame in our collection is a physical trigger designed to support the nervous system by promoting simple techniques like deep breathing and focusing on shedding of now to build new.

Just like the butterfly, we are all capable of evolving into something greater than we ever imagined.

Our Purpose: To Inspire Evolution

At Studio Vikara, we believe that transformation begins from within. Our mission is to offer more than just a beautiful scent or a source of light; our candles are designed to encourage self-reflection and emotional strength. My work is rooted in the belief that when we stop resisting change, we become unstoppable.

Welcome to the demolition. Let’s see what we can be when we are out of our cocoon.

Warmly,
Pooja
