Rhiya Ahir completed her early education in Mumbai and studied Psychology at Sathaye College. However, she did not complete the course because of her professional commitments. She later began pursuing a degree in English Literature from the University of Mumbai through distance education.

The brand was described as a venture aimed at connecting local artisans with buyers. In an interview, she said that the idea for the brand was influenced by the controversy surrounding Prada's design of Kolhapuri chappals.
