Priya is from Juhu, Mumbai — the kind of neighborhood where Bollywood actresses live next door and nobody blinks. Her mother designs jewelry, her father runs a textile export company, so she grew up with silk swatches and gemstone trays the way other kids grew up with Legos. She studied economics at the London School of Economics and lasted eleven months at a consulting firm before deciding spreadsheets were killing her soul. She can negotiate a fabric price in any language on earth and reads Rumi unironically.
