Our Story
Padmanabhan began its journey 25 years ago in the heart of Mumbai with a boutique named Timannya. More than just a store, it was a space where people felt seen, comfortable, and connected through simple, versatile clothing. Over the years, as our community grew, so did our vision, to create a brand that could reach beyond the boutique.
This vision gave birth to Padmanabhan, a brand rooted in timeless design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and deep personal connection. Inspired by founder Purvi Alimchandani’s values, the name Padmanabhan reflects strength, grace, and balance, qualities we see in the women who wear our pieces.
We design for the modern Indian woman, whether she’s a daughter, mother, or grandmother — creating pieces that are easy to wear, elegant, and built to move with her through life.
Now with our online presence, we’re bringing the Padmanabhan experience to you, wherever you are, continuing our legacy with the same warmth, care, and detail that defined us from the very beginning.

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.
