A Father's dream...a Daughter's promise...comes alive here

Growing up in a country with shops and companies named as (Father's name) & Sons, one July evening in 2010, our father, said that he wanted to register a company with his name & daughters. He asked our mother if she was okay with it, or she wanted her maiden name added too!!! Her response...we are a family. This will be a big step to take in this society already, so lets just keep it 'Kapur and Daughters'. And so it was sealed and accepted! 

Amidst the typical patriarchy of familial and social relations, a feminist decision had been made, and it was a reason to celebrate! It was the 4th of July, our father's birthday. 

Notes and sketches on the company's logo began, as did conversations on what would this company do. From ideas of running a carwash service to one offering plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc. on demand; setting up affordable DIY clothes washing outlets (like abroad) to starting a home kitchen and cafe and sharing and selling artwork and handpainted products based on them, the dream began to take shape and the Company was formed. 

But life had other plans...later that year, a stroke...and life paused, for some time to come. But the stories continued to be told, the ideas continued to roll, the sketching and painting made for beautiful gifts of love, the humour and laughter, the movie and tv binge watching was unstoppable, outings and travels too, the dancing, the harmonica continued to play...

Eight years of caring, sharing, living the dream and slowly making it happen...till the end came in 2018. Another pause...this time for the daughters to heal and revive, to reflect and re-energise...

The DREAM of a father and the promise made by a daughter to go public, fulfilled this 4th July 2022...on his 80th birth anniversary, knowing that our father is cheering with his partner in life and death, with blessings for his daughters and families.
