Ravita Mayor, the founder of Lyra Innovations began her career way back in the mid nineties when she established her own brand of Indo-fusion clothing – Cocoon. Her first show using hand woven fabric and weaves from Assam and Maheshwar was held in 1998.
As a designer, she has showcased her creations across the world– from Washington and London to various cities in India including at the prestigious Darpana Academy of Performing Arts in Ahmedabad.
Ravita was born and brought up in Assam, and has her roots and concepts deeply embedded in the North-Eastern traditions and culture. Her interest in weaving goes back to her childhood where her grandfather, an eminent personality on the sociopolitical scene had already brought a large section of the weaving community under his patronage.
Ravita married into a family of powerful women who had made their name in various fields such as dance, politics, art etc. across the globe. This was enough to kindle the idea of social entrepreneurship, supported by her industrialist husband .She did a course in fashion design from the prestigious NYU and as an entrepreneur she specializes in lifestyle consultancy, fashion design, corporate dressing and jewellery design.
