In an increasingly competitive world, planning has emerged as the structure for success, particularly for students.

Navitha Kallamadi's curious Panda launches mindfulness planners, hits Rs1.4 cr revenue

From managing rigorous academic schedules and exam preparations to balancing personal aspirations, a well-thought-out plan can provide clarity, direction, and focus.

This need for intentional living and mindful organisation has created a niche market, which entrepreneurs like Navitha Kallamadi have tapped into with innovative solutions.

Born and raised in Anantapuram, Navitha is an inspiration to the young entrepreneurs. After her master's in Financial Technology from JNTUA, she started on a journey that would shape her as a multifaceted entrepreneur. Early in her career, she was working with startups and consulting for many brands, which eventually led her to set up her first venture, ZFintech--a digital solutions company specializing in branding and marketing.

What her second startup, Curious Panda, really mirrors is her passion for creating the most impactful impact on lives.

Curious Panda is a movement toward mindful living and intentional growth rather than just a brand. This company provides well-thought-out diaries, planners, and journals that are practical and inspirational at the same time and contain daily quotes from the Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. These tools promote thinking, planning, and living purposefully.
