Disha is a forward-thinking creative lead with a well-balanced synergy of artistic sensibility, strategic insight, and a deep appreciation for India’s rich textile heritage. Born and raised in Kolkata, she was naturally drawn to art and design from an early age. This passion led her to pursue Textile Design in her home country, where she built a strong foundation rooted in India’s rich textile traditions laying the groundwork for a career defined by innovation and meaningful impact.
After a brief but meaningful design role in Bangalore, Disha expanded her expertise by earning a Master in Fashion Management from the prestigious Domus Academy in Milan, graduating cum laude. Her international journey began as a Social Media Manager for Ottica Giulianelli, a 100-year-old Italian eyewear boutique, where she gained invaluable experience collaborating with global leaders such as Luxottica, Safilo, and Kering Eyewear.

In 2020, she brought this global perspective back to India, joining Obeetee Carpets a 102-year-old luxury brand and the world’s largest carpet manufacturer. Here, her enduring passion for textiles found its true calling. As a core member of a five-person team, she led Obeetee’s ambitious entry into the Indian domestic market.
Since then, Disha has played a major role in the brand’s transformation. From ground zero, she helped scale the business to ₹50 crores in revenue, built a strong digital presence with over 60,000 social media followers, and established a retail footprint with seven stores across the country. Now serving as Brand Lead, she heads her own brand and creative team, driving distinctive campaigns and projects that have not only defined Obeetee’s voice in the Indian luxury market but also earned global recognition.
Beyond her work at Obeetee, Disha has also consulted with international heritage brands such as Thomas Goode and Makaibari, helping them navigate brand evolution and growth. Her journey reflects a powerful fusion of cultural roots, global exposure, and a relentless drive to shape the future of luxury branding in India and beyond.
“For me true luxury will always be the world of creativity that I experienced in Milan, and the doorway to this gorgeous new world was opened to me by Domus Academy. Will always be grateful to the culture and experience that the professors, the programs and the brands introduced us to. Incidentally, the first time I handled a professional social media account was when I was chosen to work for the Domus Academy page, for Fashion Graduate Italia, 2018. This successful venture gave me a great boost in confidence and also help in solidifying my career path for the future”
