Tanya Bedi Poojara (Founder)

Like adults, some kids, too, require specs, so to make wearing them a bit more comfortable, Seesaw Eyewear came to place, an eyewear brand specifically for children. Tanya’s focus primarily is to keep the eyewear design simple for children to wear. The aim is to enable styale along with comfort while playing around while engaging in childlike activities without worrying about the glasses to fall. There is a wide range of eyewear, with fun designs and colours, making it fun for kids to wear it, too. They come in packaging that kids can further use to store their other knick-knacks. Glasses can get uncomfortable at times, even for adults, which is why a brand that focuses on fun eyewear that kids can wear with no worry is applaudable, notably when run by a woman, this #InternationalWomensDay

While representing different spheres of the fashion space, each brand has one thing in common: they are all led by dynamic women entrepreneurs changing the way fashion is perceived, adding their own flair, and facing the challenges head-on. So, let us appreciate all the hard work they put into these brands this #InternationalWomensDay
