Our Story
A Vision Born
from Creativity
Founded by Soniya Mahesh in 2022, Nailpenter began as her step into entrepreneurship at the age of 21. The brand was built around a distinctive name and the idea of creating an identity that stands apart. Inspired by the word Carpenter, the name Nailpenter brings a fresh perspective to the concept of craftsmanship. By reimagining the word through the lens of nails, Soniya gave her brand a name that is memorable, expressive, and uniquely its own. For Soniya, starting Nailpenter marked the beginning of building something independently - a brand with its own identity and a story that continues to evolve. Since 2022, it has represented her journey from an idea to a business shaped by her vision and entrepreneurial spirit.
