About Us
Kokomom: Happiness, in kid sizes.
Our story doesn’t begin in a studio or an office. It begins at a farmhouse birthday party in 2022 - with a broken foot, a best friend, and a whole lot of time to dream.
We’re Riya and Raiva - best friends who met at NIFT Kolkata and graduated in 2021. After college, Raiva started working at WWF India (she’s the biggest animal lover you’ll ever meet), and I became a makeup artist. We were on our own paths… until that party. On Raiva’s birthday, I broke my foot in the most chaotic, memorable way possible and everything paused.
While I was stuck at home, Raiva came over nearly every day. We talked about everything: work, life, dogs, dreams - and the quiet ache we both had to build something of our own. Something playful. Something purposeful. Something that felt like a soft little hug.
That’s how Kokomom was born.
At first, it was just us - two girls and a bunch of notebooks filled with sketches. We spent months taking our ideas from one factory to another, looking for someone who believed in what we were trying to do. Most turned us away. The designs were too different. Too detailed.
But we weren’t designing to make big bucks. We were designing to make little feet happy.
Kokomom is a kidswear brand rooted in comfort, care, and imagination. It’s inspired by motherhood, by our shared baby fever, and by the kind of clothes we wish existed when we were little. It’s about kids being free to move, play, twirl, and tumble.
Kokomom is built on friendship - between two design girls who found a rhythm. And it’s grown into something much bigger: a community of parents, dreamers, and tiny humans who believe in clothes that feel like a hug.
We launched quietly. No big announcement. Just the soft thrill of knowing that something we dreamed up in secret - between broken bones and birthday candles - was finally out in the world.
And now? We’re just getting started.
Team
Get to know the team! The minds, muscles, and mischief behind Kokomom.
Riya – Co-Founder, Head of Marketing & Biz Boss
Riya is one-half of the founding duo and the firecracker who brings Kokomom’s energy to life. She heads Marketing, Branding, Business Operations, Business Development, and keeps the revenue wheels turning. She’s the one scouting collaborations, crafting strategies, and pushing us to think bigger.
She’s wildly social, endlessly creative, and has an uncanny ability to make everything - from a dress to a deadline feel like a party. She’s also the one convincing everyone (read: Raiva) to go out, take selfies, and “just record one more take, please”.
Raiva – Co-Founder, Head of Design & Production Whisperer
Raiva is the ‘introvert with main
character energy’ half of the founding team, but don’t let the silence fool you - she’s the backbone of our product. She leads Design and Production, and her attention to detail is borderline obsessive (in the best way). She’s the one choosing fabrics, sketching prints, coordinating with vendors, and making sure every piece that leaves our hands feels like a hug. Design is a shared love between Riya and Raiva - but the nuts, bolts, zippers, prints, and that fit you love? That’s all Raiva. She makes little feet happy, one tiny tag at a time.
Binni, Raiva’s Mom – Creative Fairy & The Real OG Designer
Raiva’s artistic instincts? Definitely inherited. Her mom is a whole vibe - constantly throwing in design suggestions, styling tips, and wild ideas that somehow always work. She’s colorful, and low-key a trend forecaster, whether she means to be or not. Some of our best pieces began with, “So Raiva’s mom had this wild idea…”
Geeta, Riya’s Mom – Tech Whiz & Chief Koko-mom
If Kokomom had a secret weapon, it’s her. Riya’s mom is funny, razor-sharp, and happens to be into AI and data science (yup, we’re as impressed as you are). She helps us think big, scale smarter, and bring systems to the madness. She’s always there when we need a quick Excel fix, or a pep talk. And somehow, she just gets everything done while also making us laugh till we cry.
Nagesh, Raiva’s Dad – Production Boss & Vendor Scolder-in-Chief
Every production meeting gets 10x more efficient (and a little terrifying) the moment Raiva’s dad walks in. He manages all our vendor relationships, oversees timelines, and makes sure we never
forget we’re running a business. He’s been known to scold Raiva and the vendors mid-call for “not thinking practically” but hey, the man gets results. He’s
basically our in-house auditor with a side of sass.
Rajnish, Riya’s Dad – Head of Hype & Hospitality
From managing our finances to filming the funniest behind-the-scenes clips, Riya’s dad does it all. He’s practical, wise, and very quick to remind us about unit economics - usually while we’re distracted by embroidery samples.And then there’s his social superpower: this man is a walking PR machine. He invites everyone to our pop-ups - college friends, gym buddies, ex-colleagues, random aunties, and they all show up and shop. He’s our loudest cheerleader, most reliable problem-solver, and probably your favorite person at the stall.
Arnav, Riya’s Brother – Muscle of Kokomom
Riya’s younger brother, a.k.a. our logistics lifeline. Arnav picks up boxes, loads inventory, holds ladders during shoots, and does 700 things without a single complaint (okay, maybe five or six). He didn’t plan to be in fashion, but now he lifts like he’s training for
Fashion Week. Compensation: take him shopping, photograph him, select his pictures and eternal gratitude.
Puranjay, Raiva’s Brother — Quiet Advisor
Not always in the spotlight, but always
there when it counts. Raiva turns to her elder brother for advice - calm,
steady, and quietly supportive.
Koko – Mascot & Professional Napper
Koko is Riya’s dog, and our full-time mascot. His main jobs include lying on fabric swatches, interrupting Zoom calls, and being extremely photogenic. He doesn’t handle any logistics - but he’s great for morale and gets more DMs than the rest of us combined.
“Don’t ask me for business advice. I sleep through meetings.” – Koko
What does Kokomom mean?
In Japanese, Koko means “here.”
Kokomom means “Mom is here” — in every small act of care, in every corner of childhood.
To us, mom is a feeling that lives in all of us — whether we’re raising kids, plants, pets, or dreams.
Kokomom is a reminder that love, like a mother’s touch, is always here.
Our Vision
At Kokomom, we believe motherhood is a feeling — one that lives in anyone who nurtures with love.
We create clothes kids love to grow in — soft, interactive, and full of joy.
Our vision is to create a world where comfort meets creativity, and where care is the common thread connecting a global community.
Kokomom — where love lives, and little ones grow.
Our Product Vision
At Kokomom, we’re redefining kidswear — with clothing that’s not just worn, but lived in.
We craft each piece using the softest, most breathable fabrics that are gentle on skin and tough on play.
Our designs are interactive and joyfully detailed — made to spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and grow with your child.
We’re proud to go beyond the garment:
From flexible sizing to sustainable materials, tree planting with every purchase, and collaborations with NGOs — every thread carries purpose.
Because we’re not just making better clothes for kids.
We’re shaping a more thoughtful world for them to grow up in.
