Nivedita Ganeshram of Madras Finds is all set to host her curation of Chennai’s homegrown brands, artists and influencers at a pop-up this weekend
If you are on the hunt for homegrown, small businesses in Chennai, then Nivedita Ganeshram’s Instagram page is a great find. The city-based digital strategist — who is gearing up for her first pop-up this weekend — hit upon the idea in August 2020. “Back then, a lot of my artiste friends started running their own small businesses, from baking to organic skincare.
