While growing up, and finding ourselves, we are mostly closest to our siblings. This also develops a sync and an understanding that might help in a professional environment. Here, the ability to scrutinize and still understand where they come from is something that comes easy. So, it’s not very surprising when sibling entrepreneurs become a success story. 

Here’s a list of some sibling entrepreneurs who’ve created innovative brands together:

1. Sujata and Taniya Biswas: SUTA

Started by Sujata and Taniya, SUTA is a fresh design house that aims to bring traditional and contemporary style together.
