Our founder
Meet Pia
Pia founded Pia Ka Ghar (translated to Pia at home in Bengali) in 2003. She wanted to create a place where one could shop for sarees - the kind she grew up with in Calcutta. In 2009, Pia had a fateful meeting with Sabyasachi. He decided on the spot that she would be the right person to take his brand to America. A year later, Pia became his largest international retailer. Together, they helped the brand reach extraordinary new heights. Sabyasachi credits Pia today with taking his brand to America.
Pia refers to herself as an "ordinary Bengali girl.” She is an accomplished writer and poet with excellent taste. She is passionate about helping others, especially dogs, and making the world a happier place. PKG is her happy place and gives her meaning and purpose. The Pia brand, an in house brand dedicated to giving artisans fair pay and equitable treatment, was created in 2020. Read more about the Pia brand here
