What connects the first Christian grave in present-day Kolkata with the 226-year-old St Peter's Orthodox Church in Mumbai? The Armenians. They flocked to the South Asian subcontinent in the 11th century, long before the British East India Company.

Prachi Khade, 39 Personal shopper
>>>
Charges: On request
Email: mailme@prachethestylist.com
Certified to be a personal shopper by Uptodate Fashion Academy in Milan, Khade has been in the fashion industry for 14 years. In a decade-long career as personal shopper, Khade has not only helped people choose what to wear but also identifies what is pulling them down. "I work with low self-esteem issues - say, why trends and styles suit everyone but them. I bring them a step closer to understanding themselves through fashion." Khade brings them in touch with their personality and shifts the focus to "dressing up for the size they are and not the size they want to be".

RECOMMENDED BY: Actor Sonali Kulkarni, 48, says, "I have collaborated with Prachi for the last 10 years. She is disciplined about how to shop and with wardrobe management. While she was extremely serious that I discard everything that made me feel low, she also helped me maintain a ‘memory wardrobe' of outfits attached to various emotions and events in my life. On many occasions, she has been my saviour."
