Hi, I'm Manasvi 👋🏽 I was born and brought up in India and moved to the US in 2015 with my husband and 4-month-old. As a young mother in a new country, I struggled quite a bit. Slowly I nurtured my community of friends, found myself again when I started making jewelry. It was the simple things – like doing what I love, decking up my house in warm, vibrant colours and textures, having folks over for Chai, my journaling ritual – that helped me feel at home.
So, as I set out to create Surmeyi, one thing was crystal clear: I want it to be a connected brand. And in no time I realised that I wanted to create products that empower people to feel at home in their own skin and evoke and embrace their unique sense of belonging.
When we are comfortable in our own skin, we have the power to embrace the unknown. Be it a piece of jewelry which gives you all the feels as you adorn it, or Qalam - our journaling pen that turns thoughts and emotions into words on paper.

Surmeyi means the color grey, and is used to refer to Kohl eyes, often in a dreamy sense. Surmeyi is also a beautiful silver fish. To me, it stood for an opportunity to swim in the unknown with dreamy eyes.
