hi there,
The Artisan Behind Achidam
I am Snekha Ragavendran, an engineering graduate turned creative entrepreneur. I started Achidam in 2017 with a simple dream and a deep love for paper. My journey began with just a pair of scissors and a passion for beautiful design
As a new mother, I built this business while caring for my baby at home. I taught myself the art of printing through trial, error, and a lot of patience. It was a humble start, but my dedication to the craft kept me moving forward
I fell in love with the deep texture of letterpress and the feel of cotton paper. I believe that an invitation is not just a notice, but a warm emotional embrace. Every design I create is meant to reflect the true soul of your unique family
Today, I am proud to work with couples globally to craft their unique stories. I personally oversee every detail to ensure your invitations are absolutely perfect. Thank you for trusting me to be a small part of your big celebration
“The invitations were beyond stunning, with textures and detailing that felt truly luxurious Every guest noticed the craftsmanship and elegance”
