Today we’d like to introduce you to Pragati Gusmano.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
The idea for a house dress came to me during my own 4th trimester. My baby girl was born during the pandemic via c-section. I had a difficult recovery without any help (social distancing). And more than anything, I wanted to be comfortable. I had purchased nightgowns to wear after the birth of my son three years prior, and while they were comfortable to an extent, they weren’t exactly what I was looking for.
In my quest to find comfortable, nursing-friendly clothing, I was reminded of the house dresses my mom and Nani (grandmother) wear. Having fond memories of these dresses and their loose, lightweight cotton in fun and vibrant prints, I set out to find something similar. I wanted something that was modest enough to wear during the day and comfortable enough to sleep in.
I wasn’t able to find a house dress that checked all my boxes and to fulfill my own postpartum needs, Nesara was born. Our kaftans and dresses are designed for anyone who wants a little bit of comfort and style.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Starting a business during the pandemic was not an easy feat. In addition to supply chain issues, we have had to navigate delayed shipments, closed production facilities, and the uncertainty that every business has faced over the last two years.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
In addition to running Nesara, I’m a formulator and medical researcher for a vitamin company. I’ve always had a passion for natural and integrative medicine and truly enjoy sharing the science of good nutrition.
What does success mean to you?
Happiness. Success is only true success if you can find joy every single day.
