Empowering Artisans: Building a purpose driven brand with Reshma Nagpal - Orregin

Bring Your Product Idea to Life

In this episode, I chat with Reshma Nagpal, founder of Orregin, a purpose-driven brand bringing beautiful artisan-made accessories and homeware from India to the UK. Reshma is only a year into her business, yet she has so much wisdom to share about starting strong, building trust, and staying true to your mission.

You’ll hear:

• How a difficult time during Covid led to a business idea rooted in purpose and passion.
• The power of working directly with artisans to preserve traditional crafts while creating modern, desirable products.
• Why talking to your customers early and often is one of the most valuable things you can do (and how Reshma does this through pop-ups and fairs).
• The realities of pricing, trial and error, and navigating challenges like logistics and production.
• The three core purposes behind Orregin, and how a strong “why” helps a new brand stand out.
• What it’s really like launching in a tough economic climate, and why sometimes the best time to start is simply now.

If you’re just starting out, or even if you’ve been running your business for a while, this conversation is packed with inspiration and practical reminders that will help you keep moving forward, trust yourself, and lean into feedback from the people who matter most—your customers.
