About Anuradha Ramam

I hold a Master’s degree in English Literature and a B.Ed. No institution ever gave me the artist’s eye I was born with. Being an artist is a way of seeing, of feeling, of refusing to rush past beauty when the world asks you to.

For years, I channelled this sensibility into a classroom. I taught English, directed plays, and worked closely with children who were often overlooked. More than any syllabus, what mattered to me was helping them discover presence. How you carry yourself. How you speak. How you dress. These are not superficial choices. They are language. They are armour. They are freedom.

I eventually outgrew the boundaries of a fixed curriculum.

On a trip to Kolkata, I picked up a few sarees. The response from women around me surprised me. It wasn’t just appreciation. It was recognition. I saw a longing for clothing that reflected who they were, not who they were expected to be. That moment shaped my purpose: to create clothing that helps women feel confident, unapologetic, and at ease in their own skin.

Then came Koyalagudem, an ikat weaving village in Andhra Pradesh. I arrived at dusk. The looms were alive. The air, the light, the rhythm of weaving felt deeply familiar. I knew, instantly, that I had found my ikat.

With no formal training in textile or fashion, I painted my visions for the weavers to see. From this dialogue emerged a design language that was bold and unapologetic, yet deeply respectful of craft. The work sold out within weeks.

From ikat to ink, my artist's mind naturally gravitated toward block printing near Kolkata. Here, I did what I always do: I brought my vision to an ancient craft. My prints were not replicas of tradition; they were conversations with it. Geometric. Deliberate. Unmistakably mine.

At Anuradha Ramam, clothing is not merely worn; it is lived. It is felt. Each garment is a conversation between the artisan, the artist, and the woman who wears it. Designing, to me, is psychological. I listen. I customise. I over-deliver because that is who I am.

My world extends to menswear, jewellery that feels deeply personal, home essentials that carry warmth, and paintings that hold my conversations with colour. Each creation comes from the same place: a belief that beauty, when lived with, changes how we inhabit ourselves and our spaces.

This is modern, artistic luxury rooted in art and craft.
This is clothing as empowerment.
This is Anuradha Ramam.
