Founded and led by visionary entrepreneur Arjumand Ashraf, Sara & Co Group stands as a tribute to her grandmother’s enduring legacy. Built on the foundation of purpose, passion, and empowerment, the group is dedicated to creating a meaningful impact through its diverse ventures spanning lifestyle, learning, community, and entrepreneurship.
With a background in Aircraft Engineering, Arjumand Ashraf began her professional journey as a Behavioral Learning Consultant, working with some of India’s leading corporations. Driven by her passion for personal growth and transformative learning, she founded Menestys in 2010, a pioneering learning and development company that today boasts a network of over 200 trainers across India.
Arj’s commitment to social impact and women’s empowerment extends far beyond business. Through her philanthropic venture, Sheen - The Luxury Label, she has created opportunities for local artisans from Kashmir, her hometown, enabling them to showcase their rich craftsmanship to a wider audience while preserving traditional artistry.
Recognizing the importance of community and collaboration among women entrepreneurs, she also founded Sisterhood, an exclusive women-led Facebook community that has grown to over 40,000 members. The platform has become a thriving ecosystem for networking, support, mentorship, and meaningful collaborations among women across the country.
Building on the remarkable success of Sisterhood, Arj launched Ensemble, a premier luxury fashion and lifestyle exhibition hosted quarterly in Pune. Bringing together over 40 curated women-led brands from across the country, Ensemble has evolved into one of the city’s most anticipated and sought-after showcases.
Designed as a platform for creativity, entrepreneurship, and conscious luxury, Ensemble offers women entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their brands to an elite and discerning audience, while fostering meaningful business connections and collaborations.
Through Sara & Co Group and its diverse ventures, Arj continues to champion empowerment, entrepreneurship, and social impact. Guided by the timeless values and legacy of her grandmother, she remains committed to creating opportunities, uplifting communities, and leaving behind a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives she touches.
