About Us
A Home That Tells Your Story
Where every corner tells a story, and every story finds a home.
Inara was born of a quiet conviction — that a home is more than the sum of its objects. It is a portrait of the people who live in it.
The Beginning
Inara was founded by Mona Bahl in September 2020 — a moment when the world had gone still, and home had become everything. After more than a decade in sales and a lifelong love for beautiful objects, Mona took the leap her instinct had long been pointing toward: to build a space dedicated to the art of considered living.
What began as one woman's passion has grown into a curated home for discerning patrons across India — but the heart of it remains unchanged. Every piece on our shelves is chosen by Mona herself, with the eye of a stylist and the care of a friend.
"It makes all the effort worthwhile when patrons return and tell us they're in love with their home all over again — after an Inara makeover."
Mona Bahl, Founder
Our Philosophy
We believe in quiet luxury — the kind that doesn't announce itself, but lingers. A brass planter on a console table. A hand-painted bowl on the dining room sideboard. The slow magic of objects that feel chosen, not bought.
Inara's collection is built on three principles:
- Artisanship — We work with craftsmen who treat their work as devotion, not output.
- Curation — Every piece earns its place. Nothing here is filler.
- Longevity — We choose objects meant to live with you for years, not seasons.
More Than a Store
Inara is also a place of conversation. Whether you're styling your first home or refreshing the one you've lived in for decades, we'd love to help. Our patrons often arrive with a single piece in mind and leave with an entirely new way of seeing their space.
Step into our flagship store on Pedder Road, Mumbai, and you'll find Mona herself most days — talking through ideas, suggesting pairings, or simply welcoming you with the warmth of someone who genuinely loves what she does.
Whether you've come to us for a single object or a complete reimagining of your home, we're glad you're here.
