About the Founder

Shivani Kulshrestha is the founder of The Velvet Hours, a company dedicated to curated weekend experiences.

She recognised a gap in how weekends are often spent, caught between overstimulation and disconnection. This led her to create quieter gatherings and more meaningful ways to socialise, experiences that feel intentional rather than overwhelming.

Rooted in a technical corporate career, Shivani finds balance in creating spaces that invite creativity, presence, and meaningful connection. As someone who values growth, her vision is centred on gentle learning and discovery, where trying something new feels natural and unforced.

The Velvet Hours reflects her belief that weekends are not meant to be filled, but felt.
