Sneha Prabeen, is a young designer, who hails from Kozhikode, Kerala. She swears by the power of beads. “It was on the summer break after my bachelor's that I found some stranded beads in my closet. I immediately decided to craft an anklet out of it. But the formation of those beads into a delicate jewelry piece amazed me. I realized beads are far more versatile than I thought. So, I decided to replace every accessory I wear with beads by blending my artistry with sheer utility values,” she says. It took seven years before Sneha decided to pursue her passion in jewellery making. And with he passion to become an entrepreneur, Yuvanta was born. Today Yuvanta has a large range of décor items like long-beaded curtains, sparkling window-blinds, drapes, show-pieces and the like. Usual jewelry options like necklaces, earrings, nose-pins, head-wears, hair-do accessories, bracelets, anklets and others are also aplenty in Sneha's collection. She plans to enhance more utility items in a bid to give a beaded twist to daily life. Yuvanta now has a manufacturing unit in Kozhikode. Sneha has a few words of wisdom to share with aspiring entrepreneurs who want to venture into the designing field. “Choose your medium well; because that determines your destiny. Dream big; if you imagine it, you can very well accomplish it,” she says.*
