Meet Our Founders
The visionaries behind Desiluxe share their journey of creating refined desi luxury
Samir Dharnidharka
Founder & CEO
Building Desiluxe has never been only about creating skincare. It is about building something enduring, disciplined and meaningful.
My professional journey across finance, taxation and corporate governance taught me a fundamental lesson: vision becomes sustainable only when it is supported by structure, discipline and foresight.
My role as Founder is to help ensure Desiluxe's creative ambition is supported by responsible financial governance, scalable systems and long-term strategic thinking.
Pragyan Dutta
Founder & Product Head
Desiluxe was not born in a boardroom. It was born in memory.
I grew up surrounded by rituals that were never labelled luxury, yet embodied it completely - oils warmed by hand, flowers crushed with care, fabrics treated as heirlooms, and beauty passed down quietly through generations.
Over time, many of these practices came to be seen as ordinary or outdated. I saw something different: knowledge, intention and an Indian idea of luxury that deserved to be expressed with confidence.
