Our story

How Bizyheart began

Prakriti Chawla grew up on the campus of Muskaan, where her mother, Nira Chawla, is the CEO. Her first friends were people with disabilities, and for her, that was normal.

In 2020 she tried every kind of clay she could find. Air-dry clay stuck: it hardens without a kiln and can be painted and varnished within a day. That instant joy is the heart of Bizyheart.

In April 2023 she and her partner, Piyush Gulati, ran their first workshop at a café. The next three sold out. They designed their own pieces to paint, and when demand outgrew the home studio, Prakriti turned to Muskaan.
