Irrespective of which part of the world you hail from, Indian ethnic wear is sure to catch your
attention. The design, embroidery, and weaving techniques that are a part of a traditional
ensemble don’t just grab eyeballs, but also represent Indian traditions and culture.
Each Indian ethnic wear brings its own history, charm, characteristics, and beauty. That’s why
many homegrown brands are making efforts to popularise such artisanal work across the world.
ADABKARI is a Chikankari brand launched by Ekta on 3rd June 2019. Born and brought up in
Lucknow, after completing her MBA, Ekta worked for 13 years in corporates like Kelly Services and HCL. Post her 1st kid, she chose to be a stay-at-home mother. This was when the idea came to launch her own brand to showcase her love for Chikankari which she grew up wearing.
The journey started from home via Instagram with a small investment of Rs.52000/- given by her Father. Soon they started participating in exhibitions in nearby societies and renowned MNCs which helped them grow. To fulfil her father’s last wish, Adabkari opened its first store in Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi on 3rd July 2021.
