Meet Sonam Chopra

Delhi-raised, Mumbai-shaped and Bangalore-based, Sonam spent 17+ years in investment banking, mentored by the best and energised by people. Analytical, a big-picture thinker and a planner who executes, she is also a positive, enthusiastic dreamer who makes contrarian calls, decides fast and builds first. 

An artist with an eye for design, she paints, sketches and reads people without needing many words. A mother of two boys with three adopted cats, she lifts weights, plays tennis and poker, dances freestyle, and is happiest travelling or near water.

Meet Himanshu Makhijani

Delhi-born, Bangalore-based and a proud Sindhi, Himanshu has business in his blood. He's endlessly curious, an avid reader, and a student of parenting, as a hands-on dad to two boys (and three cats who run the house). 

He'd rather hear your story than tell his own. He plays every sport, trekks whenever he can, enjoys a hand of poker, and loves hosting friends and family around a good meal. And someday, he dreams of opening a mountain café serving his egg recipes and masala chai.

Sonam Chopra

Co-founder & CEO

Raised in Delhi, shaped by years in Mumbai, and now a Bangalorean, Sonam carries a little of each city with her. She is sharp, witty and fun-filled, an extrovert and natural connector who lights up a room and still notices who in it needs a kind word.

Her 17+ years in investment banking were spent among people: mentored by the best, mentor to many, and energised by both. She reads what people feel long before they find the words. Analytical and a big-picture thinker, she is also a structured planner, a skilled negotiator and an execution expert. She is a dreamer and believer too, a positive, enthusiastic thinker with an experimental streak, unafraid of the contrarian call. A quick decision-maker, she moves fast once she has decided. She builds first, then brings in professionals to refine the work or hands it over to run.

She is an artist at heart, with a keen eye for design and a deep joy in creating. She paints and sketches, sinks into people’s stories, and lets her art speak when speaking isn’t needed. She can be tough to convince, but once she believes in something, nothing slows her down.

Reya RARE YOU brings together what she loves most: seeing people for who they are and giving voice to what’s left unsaid. A charm is a story held in silver, and “Rare You” is a belief she has lived all her life.

Off the clock, she does strength training, plays tennis and poker, and freestyle dances whenever the music is right. She loves to travel, is happiest around water, and will always pick the picante option on the menu. She is a mother of two boys with three adopted cats, and she trusts her instinct and the natural connections that outlast humans. She hopes to nurture dogs soon, once they find her.




Himanshu Makhijani

Co-founder & COO

Born and raised in Delhi, now proudly a Bangalorean by choice, Himanshu is a Sindhi, and business runs in his blood. Building something of his own feels less like a decision and more like second nature.

Curiosity is his default setting. He's always learning, always experimenting, and always trying to see the world through someone else's eyes. He's an avid reader, and though he has no formal degree in it, he's a lifelong student of human psychology, especially parenting. As a hands-on dad to two boys (and three cats who run the house), that's where the learning gets put to the test.

Himanshu would rather listen than talk. Whether he's chatting with an office boy or a CEO, an artist or a finance professional, he's genuinely more interested in their story than in telling his own. People across every walk of life find themselves at ease with him.

Off the clock, you'll find him on a court, a pitch or a mountain trail. Cricket, badminton, tennis, squash, table tennis: if it's a sport, he's in, and he's not shy about picking up a new one in his 40s. He plays and watches with equal joy, and trekking is a love of its own. When the games move indoors, he's just as happy at a poker table, reading people as much as cards.

He's a keen cook too, and happiest when he's hosting friends and family around a good meal. He believes in planning and saving, but never at the cost of a good experience. And someday, he dreams of retiring to the mountains and opening a little café, serving his signature egg recipes and a cup of hot masala chai.
