OUR STORY

About Shashtika

It all started with six sisters and one simple conversation. Some of the best ideas
don’t come from boardrooms — they come from family holidays, endless cups of
chai, and conversations that move effortlessly from life to dreams to skincare.

Why is it so difficult to find skincare that is both cleanand genuinely effective?

THE QUESTION THAT STARTED IT ALL · MANJUSHA & HER SISTERS

WHERE IT BEGAN

A close-knit family of women

For our founder, Manjusha, those everyday conversations were with her six sisters. Growing up surrounded by women meant beauty rituals, skincare tips and homemade remedies
were always part of daily life.

Like many women, they spent years trying products that promised the world but delivered very little - filled with ingredients they couldn’t pronounce and results they couldn’t truly trust. Instead of continuing the search, they decided to create it themselves.

FROM KITCHEN TO BRAND

A project made with honesty and love

Manjusha began experimenting with thoughtfully chosen ingredients and time-honoured formulations, making small batches for her sisters and family. There was no business plan — just a desire to create products they could wholeheartedly believe in.


One person stood firmly beside her every step of the way: her husband, Dhiraj. His constant encouragement and unwavering support gave Manjusha the confidence to dream bigger — and so a heartfelt family project slowly grew into Shashtika.

THE MEANING BEHIND OUR NAME

The name Shashtika is inspired bythe beautiful bond of six sisters— their love, trust, strength andtogetherness.

A reminder that the best things in life are often created not in isolation, but through the people who stand beside us.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Skincare should never feel complicated

It should be honest. It should be mindful. And above all, it should make you feel cared for. Our products are thoughtfully crafted using carefully selected ingredients that work in harmony with your skin.

No unnecessary complexity. No exaggerated promises. Just skincare made with intention — formulations that become part of your everyday life, not just your bathroom shelf.

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

More than a skincare brand

Today, Shashtika is the story of sisters who inspired an idea, a husband who believed in it, and a family that came together to build something meaningful.

If it isn’t good enough for our own family, it isn’t good enough for yours.

Thank you for letting us be a small part of your daily ritual. With love,

Manjusha, Dhiraj &
The Shashtika Family
