Our story
Welcome to Padmanabhan, where our journey began 25 years ago with a dream in the heart of Mumbai. It all started with Timannya, a beloved boutique that was more than just a retail space; it was a sanctuary where individuals could embrace their true selves, reveling in simplicity and versatility. Over the years, we forged deep connections with our customers, who found joy and confidence in what we offered.
As our community grew, so did our aspirations. We envisioned a brand that could reach those beyond our boutique's doors, which inspired our evolution into Padmanabhan. With this transformation, we are thrilled to continue our legacy of artistry and elegance, now accessible to you, no matter your location.
At Padmanabhan, we celebrate the modern woman, whether as a daughter, a mother, or a grandmother. Our pieces are designed for comfort and versatility, blending timeless style with contemporary needs. Our founder, Purvi Alimchandani, chose the name Padmanabhan to embody grace, strength, and balance, reflecting the rich heritage and values that inspire our creations. We are dedicated to making you feel extraordinary at every stage of life.
With our new online presence, Padmanabhan aims to transcend geographical boundaries while remaining deeply committed to the personal care and attention that have defined us for decades. Let us bring timeless elegance to your doorstep, weaving comfort and style into your everyday life, this time with more care, ease, and love.

Meet the founder
Purvi Alimchandani
Purvi Alimchandani, the creative force behind Padmanabhan, has spent over two decades immersing herself in the world of design. Her journey began with a boutique in Mumbai, driven by a passion to create clothing that resonates with women’s aspirations and experiences. For Purvi, fashion transcends mere trends; it’s about crafting pieces that embody comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging, no matter where life’s journey takes you.
With Padmanabhan, she envisioned a brand that empowers women through thoughtfully designed garments. Each piece is conceived not just as an item of clothing, but as an experience, an invitation to embrace something timeless and deeply personal. At Padmanabhan, we believe that clothing should evolve with you, reflecting your individuality and enhancing your everyday life.
Purvi eloquently captures her philosophy: “Clothes that move with you, stay with you, grow with you. Designed for real women, with real lives, and timeless style. Padmanabhan is not about fashion. It’s about feeling at home in what you wear. Made slowly, lived in fully.”
We welcome you to explore Padmanabhan, not just as a brand, but as your companion on this beautiful journey where each piece awaits to tell your story.
