Our Story
Maharya is a family-owned business run by Navin Sehgal of Kolkata, India. At only 17, Navin embarked on a journey into the leather trade, working for a well-known leather export house.
Later he took a senior position in quality inspection for a distinguished foreign conglomerate.
In 1999, Navin decided to pen his own chapter by opening a leather goods factory in Kolkata.
Navin's mission was bold – to build a factory that set the gold standard for values, service excellence, and adherence to international compliance standards for social and environmental responsibility.
It was a journey fraught with challenges, but one that he navigated with unwavering determination and ultimately, success.
In 2024, Navin embarked on yet another adventure by deciding to expand worldwide.
With a new business on the East Coast USA and an international team and expanding network, Navin is committed to bringing Maharya's beautiful leather goods to the world.
Beyond the factory walls, Navin's heart beats for philanthropy. He extends his support to causes close to home, especially those dedicated to uplifting the lives of the people of India.
