FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

You're not the only one thinking that... I am too! Since April 20, 2009, I have dreamt each day that I could proudly say that the Paani Puri Online Store is open.

After 36 hours of non-stop work on the final details, barely any sleep, and watching people code on their computers, I can proudly say we are open!

These are our first 5 designs so you can get a feel of what's to come next. Every few days we will release more and as always, we will keep you posted on what's going on.

We believe that life should be FULL of SURPRISES! Well, there are some on the site... the hint is: "Side Image."

We at Paani Puri value what you have to say. So, please send us your thoughts about the site, questions, or anything else to PPC@paanipuriclothing.com. We would LOVE to hear from you, because at the end of the day, it's YOU who makes us want to keep on going!

We are especially excited to hear about the special packaging the T-shirts are delivered in, the softness of the fabric, and the fit. So, please let us know what you think!


Thanking you from the bottom of our Paani Puri Hearts,
The Paani Puri Clothing Team.

I am steady treading water trying to reach the shore” Drake, a very promising up and coming hip-hop artist, said in his new hit single, “Successful”

The journey of starting a company from
scratch, in a country you are unfamiliar with is one of the most rewarding, challenging, and enriching experiences of my life. Although I am grateful for all the things I learn't while growing up in the United States, I have to thank India for letting me live my dream and accomplish my goals after moving here 1.5 years ago. I have fallen deeply in love with this country, and more so this vibrant city, Bombay.

The biggest thanks goes out to you – the people reading this. I thank all of you for having wished for nothing but the success of Paani Puri, and I hope that you continue to do so. Thank you for all the warm wishes and the tremendous amount of faith in me and my dream. I also want to take this time to thank the select following people for all their support and love:

Eureka .. Why I Enjoy Paani Puri

Our creative head Eureka shares her thoughts with us ... Check out her blog Eureka At Paani Puri when you get a chance :)
Artists need freedom, that is the way we are built. A year back, I was a lost artist, confused, ill confident and unemployed. I could not find a job that fit my profile. However I believe that there is no such thing as coincidence. I met Rishab when he got here, to India that is, and we both knew our careers at the time lacked a certain passion. Work should never be work, we both knew that.

I started designing t shirts for fun for some online t shirt sites, for the heck of it. He happened to see some of these and then "Eureka" :) he had an idea that rocked my world!

In the beginning i was very skeptical about the whole thing, "Paani Puri???? can u actually call a clothing brand that?? was my first ever question to him. We worked on it then, not knowing where this might lead, day in day out, not knowing why or how, it was a calling. We knew we had to do this, though we didn't know why.

Initially we were just testing the entire thing, but his focus and determination greatly influenced and motivated me. Needless to say we made a good team. Like they say, the rest is history!

If a year back, someone would have told me " Your art on a Paani Puri tee will be featured in Verve and Marie Claire magazine, or that it would have 1075 and counting fans on Facebook, i would have be in shock and total denial" This is however a reality, and I am so proud to see this Baby grow.

Why I enjoy Paani Puri? Cause i love it, i wake up to it every single day, i look forward to it, in seeing it grow it has helped me grow as an artist.Its given me freedom, its given me challenges, its given me relationships, its given me energy. I feel so much more confident! There was a time where this would all seem surreal.

I believe God always puts you through the toughest times so when you do reach a checkpoint and look back, you can truly appreciate where you have reached. I do not know where this road is taking us, but i know at the end of it all, it will definitely be an amazing journey. Artists need freedom, that is the way we are built, Paani Puri gives me that freedom, that is why it was built.
