Radhika Nayar

Founder and Creative Brand Director of Devi Jewel. Co-Founder of Chanana Welfare Foundation. Philanthropist

Born in Mumbai and raised in New Delhi,
India, Radhika graduated from the
prestigious SRCC College Delhi University
an Honors degree in Economics before
going on to complete her MBA at the Fore
School of Management, degree from the
Maastricht School of Management.
From an early age, creativity, art, and
design was central to her interests and
passions. Growing up under the influence
of two strong grandmothers, she
developed a deep sense of strength and
purpose along with a solid foundation to
create meaningful change.

Radhika’s transition into jewelry design
was driven by a personal passion that goes
beyond the intrinsic beauty of precious
stones. Her creations are deeply symbolic,
carrying layers of meaning and designed to
empower women. Her unwavering
commitment began as a personal quest
bringing together her love for jewelry with
her desire to support and uplift women
ultimately shaping a purpose-driven
journey that blends artistry with impact.

Radhika’s journey into jewellery began in her childhood, with summers spent in Mumbai where she was immersed in the world of her grandmothers’ treasured collections. Year after year, observing, learning, and understanding their jewellery instilled in her an inherent love and deep appreciation
for the craft. Watching the gemstones come to life and witnessing the joy her grandmothers experienced when adorning these pieces left a lasting impression. Her fascination only deepened
during visits from jewellers, where she became enamoured by the diversity and brilliance of gemstones. This enduring love story ultimately led to the inception of Devi Jewels by Radhika C—a lifelong passion ignited by the mesmerising allure of her grandmothers’ cherished collections, seamlessly marrying her love for jewellery with her belief in supporting and empowering women.
