In the 4 years since inception, we have played an important role in popularising modern babywearing in India, which has led to us becoming the largest baby carrier brand of our country.
When you wrap your baby in Soul’s finest natural fabrics, you have in your hands, fair trade fabric sourced straight from Indian weavers. Our ethically sourced materials are lovingly handmade into our beautiful range of products by working mothers from the local community.
We believe that we have to be responsible to our society and our environment, and there is always more for us to do. Our conscious decision to work with a manufacturer who uses solar & wind energy to power their plant, is a step towards reducing our carbon footprint. Our packaging has no print on it, which is another conscious decision to avoid the use of harmful chemicals. We pioneered a change in the elaborate billing process of our logistics provider by optimising their invoice delivery system, which has considerably reduced their carbon footprint.

We grant interest free loans to all our women who need the financial support to put their children through school. We feel strongly about every child having access to quality education, which is why we ensure that there has been no child labour involved at any stage of the manufacturing process of our Soul products.
Soul was founded in 2014 when I decided that every parent should have access to affordable and comfortable babywearing. I had unhappy experience with baby carriers when I had my first child. When I was expecting again, I decided to explore further. After prolonged research, I decided on a ring sling was the ideal choice considering my lifestyle and the Indian climate. I had to get it down from the US as it wasn’t locally available.
The first time I wore my son in my ring sling was when he was barely a few days old. I fell in love with my ring sling instantly. My newborn son was comfortably napping on me while I read books or went out for walks with my 5-year old daughter. Every time he was crying, all I needed to do was to wear him in my ring sling and he would settle down in minutes. I couldn’t imagine my life without my baby carriers. I never stepped out of the house without one. I remembered my life when my daughter was a newborn and realized that with a good ring sling those days could have been a lot less stressful for both of us.
That’s when I decided to start Soul in 2014. I knew I could make a difference in every parent’s life by introducing them to safe and affordable babywearing. As my son and I explored different styles of babywearing, Soul grew and increased its options for babywearers everywhere. When we started out I searched in vain for baby carriers which were locally made, well-constructed and elegant. So I
decided to do it myself. It’s a product that changed my life & I want every parent to experience the joy of wearing their baby close to their heart.”
