About Kanak Katha Couture
Kanak Katha Couture is more than a saree label β it is a narrative of heritage, womanhood, and timeless elegance.
Born from a deep love for Indian craftsmanship and the stories woven into every drape, Kanak Katha Couture celebrates sarees as heirlooms of emotion, culture, and identity. Each piece we curate reflects grace that transcends trends β designed for women who value tradition, yet live confidently in the present.
At Kanak Katha Couture, we believe a saree is not just worn β it is felt.
It carries memories, marks milestones, and becomes part of a womanβs personal story.
Our Philosophy
We stand at the intersection of tradition and thoughtful modernity.
Our collections are carefully curated with attention to:
Craftsmanship & fabric integrity
Elegant color stories
Versatility across occasions
Honest pricing & transparent sourcing
Every saree is chosen with intention β to ensure it feels as beautiful as it looks, and meaningful long after it is worn.

How the Co-Founders Met
Some partnerships are written long before they begin.
Our story started with a friendship β one that belonged to our husbands.
Saurabh Khatri and Prashant Gyanchandani, college friends and roommates for six formative years, built a bond rooted in trust and shared experiences.
From that foundation, two journeys unfolded β
one marriage in 2024, another in 2025.
Different moments, same circle.
What began as their friendship naturally evolved into our partnership.
Rooted in legacy, guided by fate, and united by shared values β thatβs how Kanak Katha Couture found its co-founders.
