Nitya Arora is the founder and creative director at VALLIYAN, best described as a multi-hyphenate and a true artist dabbling in fashion, jewellery, retail curation, conceptual direction, styling. With a successful design career spanning over 17 years, Nitya has created significant impact in pioneering modern jewellery and its perception in India.

It all began when Nitya started her career at the end of high school. Referring to architecture as her first love, she explored options for architecture school only to realize that learning on the job would be the best form of education. Drawing inspiration from Bombay, the city she was raised in, and reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, she found herself veering towards experiences in that direction.

Through the years, Nitya has become a notable voice in the fashion landscape, consulting for several brands and magazines.
