What began as a conversation between two friends — both avid travelers, both deeply drawn to beautifully designed things — soon evolved into something more intentional. The founders, Silki and Ekta, found themselves captivated by products they encountered on their travels: sensorial, refined, and crafted with quiet attention to detail.
Those experiences sparked a shared desire — to create an Indian brand that embodied that same global sophistication and sensorial refinement. Something proudly made here, yet expressed through a modern, worldly design language.
PEKKO was created to give form to that vision.
The final piece fell into place when Silki and Ekta were introduced to Ahalya Matthan — a perfumer who had trained at the historic ISIPCA in Paris, the world's living archive of fragrance. Ahalaya brought deep expertise in scent and formulation; Ekta and Silki brought a vision for beauty, ritual, and thoughtful design.
Together, they spent nearly a year developing formulations that would be truly distinctive — cleaner, gentler, and more sensorial. The result was a collection rooted in tea-based molecular care, where powerful antioxidants meet refined fragrance and texture. A meeting of vision, craft, and quiet attention to detail.

Globally inspired, locally crafted, and emotionally grounded.

Drawn to design, detail, and the sensory world, Silki’s background in tea, interiors, and fashion shaped her belief that beauty lies in quiet precision. For her, tea was both heritage and metaphor – a reminder of warmth, purity, and pause.
Ekta Agrawal
With a decade in finance and operations, Ekta brought strategy and structure to the vision. Her travels made her keenly aware of modern India’s evolving aesthetic – one that values subtlety and sophistication.
Ahalya Matthan
Ahalya Matthan has spent her career at the intersection of science and scent. Trained at the ISIPCA in Paris — the world's living archive of fragrance — she brings a rare depth of knowledge to every formulation she creates.
