About
Strategy
Meets Soul
Aanist is a boutique creative strategy studio focused on helping lifestyle brands stay ahead of the curve. Our name comes from the Sanskrit root "Ananda" - meaning bliss, joy, and authenticity. And that's what we aim to bring to every brand we work with: clarity, direction, and a sense of purpose.
Our
Belief
“Authenticity leads to divine order and success.” That’s more than a philosophy - it’s our method. We believe consumer insight, when layered with culture and creativity, results in business clarity and soulful branding.
Shivanee Shankar Dutt, Founder
“I started Aanist to fill a creative gap I kept noticing - between business objectives and brand soul. My work sits at the overlap of intuition and insight, data and design. Whether it's building collections, repositioning brands, or just helping teams dream better - my goal is to help brands find their true, resonant voice.”
Our Work Helps You:
- Spot what consumers are gravitating toward, before it becomes obvious.
- Create product lines that reflect aspirational living, not just seasonal demand.
- Build brands that are rooted in Indian context but designed for a global gaze.
- Transition from selling things to creating experiences.
