 The Heart Behind the Vision

Mrs. Smita Kajarekar

 Co-Founder · The Heart Behind Stavana

Stavana was never a one-person idea.

Alongside Mr. Kajarekar was his wife, Mrs. Kajarekar, whose passion is to create products that can make everyday life a little more thoughtful and environment friendly.

Being Post Graduate in Environmental Sciences  , She looks at incense not simply as something people burn . She saw the threat to human health and environment . 

Her vision was simple:

If something becomes part of people’s everyday lives, it should be an ode to mother nature…..

STAVANA PHILOSOPHY

It is an experience, a moment of stillness, ambience, and indulgence.

Stavana brings a contemporary approach to this timeless ritual, combining sophisticated fragrance compositions with a thoughtfully crafted incense base.

 The Meaning

Stavana comes from the idea of stuti — an expression of praise, reverence and devotion. For us, the name represents the deeper purpose behind incense: creating moments of connection, gratitude and presence.

Crafted For Elegance
Formulated For More Care

Stavana began with two people, a shared curiosity, a love for fragrance and decades of formulation experience. Today, every Stavana incense stick carries a little part of that journey.
