Riya, Co-Founder of Fuzia, was 11 years old when she witnessed the concept of Fuzia while studying at Palo Alto High School, California. Shraddha always loved creative writing as a child. She used to write creative endings of books when she wasn’t satisfied with their ending. She loved writing stories, so with a family friend’s help, she wrote a book called ‘Runaway Twins.’ She thought of the plot mostly by herself, just using her imagination.
It was about a pair of twins who solve a family mystery to help save their family. Later, reading her book, a 6-year-old girl came up to her with utmost exhilaration to tell Shraddha that she inspired her to write a book and made her realize her true calling. The incident seeded so deep in Shraddha and made her experience the potential of inspiration and after that she decided to influence all the girls and women around the world to get inspired by each other. Thus, in 2012 she started Fuzia as a Writing club, a platform meant for school girls to share their writings and essays. Riya and Shraddha are the founders of Fuzia.
It is now fuzia.com, a venture that grew from 2 to 50 team members under the leadership of co-founder Shraddha Varma (31), with the significant vision of influencing and empowering creative females globally through the power of their creative pursuits.
