Her mother used to sew for a garment store. At the age of 19 Anita decided to pursue her career in fashion but her family did not support her decision except her mother.
She started with two sewing machines and designed clothes, but almost all stores rejected her clothes. So she started her clothing brand. At 20, she became financially independent.
Anita works tirelessly for women's representation in fashion. She has several stores, both online and offline, in India and abroad, along with her luxury brand, Grassroots.
