A true people's person, she brings warmth, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail to every event she curates, ensuring each celebration is seamless and memorable. When she's not planning unforgettable occasions, Rekha can often be found trekking through the mountains, embracing new adventures and drawing inspiration from the great outdoors.
Shirley Daver Parasuraman
Shirley Daver has always believed that the best events don’t just look beautiful — they feel like something. As Co-Founder and Creative Director of Aamari, she brings an instinctive eye for design, an obsessive attention to detail, and a genuine warmth that puts every client instantly at ease.
Her creative sensibility was refined at the highest level of Indian fashion — working alongside the legendary Manish Malhotra, where beauty is never accidental and every detail carries intention. That experience gave her something no design school can teach: an intuitive understanding of elegance, of how the right aesthetic can make a person feel seen, celebrated, and completely themselves.
She brought that philosophy into Aamari, and it has defined every event since. Her work is simple in its goal: every celebration should feel like it could only ever have belonged to the person it was made for.
