When I first met Sweta Jain 20 years ago at a house party she left an impression on me. Something about her was so cool and fun we instantly became friends. Sweta is incredibly versatile person and lives life in the fast lane. She is a dedicated wife, mother, businesswoman, and an amazing friend. Her outgoing personality and love for her friends makes her so special, she lights up the room anytime she is in it. Sweta talks about her love for jewelry, art, food and her secret hot sauce.
Tell us about your love for Goshwara? Where does the inspiration for your designs come from?
I was born with a love for Gemstones because I grew up watching my father work with them. Goshwara is my baby born out of that love along with a passion for design and creation. A lot of my inspiration comes from my travels and from art and architecture.
Your house is filled with amazing art? How do you collect them?
Over the years I have had the opportunity to visit various galleries and auction houses and occasionally artists’ homes as well. The pieces I collect always have a story to tell. My favorite piece of art is a painting about the philosophy of Buddhism by Ravikumar.
When you travel for work what is your favorite go-to snack from the airports?
Almonds and dried fruits. Occasionally I will grab a yogurt.

Homemade Rice and Daal.
Your daughter is a vegan vegetarian. Does she have a favorite dish that you cook at home?
Yes, she loves Upma (Indian) and Avocado Toast (Western).
Your all-time favorite books?
I have quite a few. In Non-Fiction I Love Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Jeffrey Archer books. And in my daily on-the-go life I love reading the Wired magazine, National Geographic and the Economist.
What is your secret HOT sauce?
I make a yummy red chutney from red soprano peppers (Indian style) which goes great with a lot of Indian dishes, and a very spicy Olive oil with Serrano peppers, Black Peppers and herbs (Western Style). This chutney taste great with pasta, pizzas and just even with bread.
