T RANJITHA BADRADRI – FASHION DESIGNER

Hailing from an effluent family that had one of the first theatres in chennai “Sun Theatre” and being the great grand daughter of the First Mayor of Madras “T Sundar Rao Naidu” .I was born in the centre of this glamourous world that landed my first initiation on the passion for creation. Since my early years I had a very keen interest in arts and crafts and during my teens ventured my first business in Tangore Paintings.

As there were no scopes for Fashion designing in chennai during early 90’s, i took on a Degree in B A Corporate at Ethiraj College and a Diploma in Graphic Design that landed her a project in Malaysia. While working in Malaysia i persued my dreams in fashion & design and studied a Degree in Fashion Design at Raffles International college and graduated from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology in 2008 where she recieved and Award “Certificate of  Excellence” AND “Best Fashion Collection 2008”

In 2009 I single handedly opened my first label “Ambere” in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I successfully ran this venture for 5 years styling many known celebrities throughout the country and winning multiple awards “Best Upcoming Designer –India 2011” & “Best Fashion Designer at KL India Fashion Week 2013”.In 2015 i relocated back to chennai and began my next venture “Tamaara” Tamaara derived from her family name Tamarapakkam . I believe in “Happy client refferals”. With zero publicity but purely by client refferals my business has gained a good brand name world wide, .

I have dressed brides across the continents. And created a distinct identity with high-end couture detailing, intricate embroidery and unique use of fabrics and textures, which makes my creations stand out in a crowd. i believes its the little details that make an ensemble look different.i specializes in bridal trouseau, cocktail and western wear , kidwear and also offers fashion consulting for brides. For me “Tamaara is her passion” #iluvwatido.

I started Tamaara with a Startup capital of Rs 2 Lakhs and 4 staff in the year 2015 and today we stand tall and growing with a workforce of nearly 100 staff.

I always believe Failure is not the opposite of success but it is the part of Success. As part of giving back to society, I conduct annual workshops on embroidery & tailoring for single mothers, Victims of domestic abuse and young girls. This gives them a chance for financial independence. Tamaara worksa closely with Sai centers. For me this is not work but my passion.
