Mumbai, 5 Aug 2025 – At the intersection of heritage and modernity, nostalgia and necessity, stands Krsnaa Mehta — the visionary founder and design director of India Circus, often referred to as “The Print Philosopher” for his signature ability to translate the soul of India into everyday design. What began as a journey in textiles and surface design over two decades ago has since evolved into a full-fledged design empire — one that now spans home décor, fashion accessories, dining, travel, and lifestyle. Through India Circus by Krsnaa Mehta, the designer has redefined how India is seen — both within its own borders and across the world — celebrating a “glocal” design language that feels as at home in a SoHo loft as it does in a South Bombay apartment.
From Silks to Stories
Krsnaa Mehta’s career began amidst the looms and palettes of India’s rich textile traditions. Armed with a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, and a deep-rooted love for local craft, he began creating bold, culturally resonant prints that spoke of Indian streets, palaces, flora, fauna all layered with a distinctly contemporary voice. Over time, his creative instincts moved beyond fabric. “Design is never just about material,” Mehta reflects. “It’s about memory, feeling, context. Whether on a cushion, a wall plate, or a cup it tells a story.”
This belief laid the foundation for India Circus, a brand that blends maximalism with class, tradition with trend, and artistry with accessibility. Every motif and every collection is a modern postcard from India one that honours the past while embracing the future.
A Vision for the Global Indian Home
At the heart of Krsnaa Mehta’s work is a simple but powerful idea: Design should not be intimidating. It should be democratic. Through India Circus, he has made premium Indian-inspired design available to a wide audience offering products that are high on visual storytelling, yet easy on function and price.
“Indians today live with one foot in tradition and the other in the world,” Mehta shares. “Whether it’s a professional in Singapore or a student in Pune, they crave design that reflects both their roots and their modern rhythm. That’s what I strive to create pieces that feel intimate, yet expansive.”
What’s Next: Bold Moves and Deeper Roots
As India Circus expands its footprint with collaborations, global shipping, and new product categories — Krsnaa remains committed to authenticity. From collaborating with artisans across India to tapping into newer design narratives, he continues to evolve the brand without diluting its essence.
For Krsnaa Mehta, design is both personal and political a way to reclaim Indian identity through colour, pattern, and purpose. And while his prints may be bold, it is his philosophy — rooted in emotion, equity, and expression that leaves the deepest impression.
