In the Indian culture, the elephant symbolizes strength, prosperity, wisdom, good luck and protection of the home.
It was everything they wanted their new brand to be. The elephant has, for centuries, been a part of folklore,
art, culture and royalty – its mighty designs traveling all across the world, taking a piece of
Indian heritage wherever it goes.
The ‘little’ was added as a token of humility for the first steps the company was taking.
Little Elephant, co-founded by David and Neha, was born as an ode to Neha’s Indian roots. David lived in India with Neha for
8 months after their marriage in 2017. They spent these months traveling the length and breadth of the vast country,
giving David a whiff of the grand sensory experience that India is. He realized that there are so many facets of
the Indian culture that the world is still deprived of. The intricate art pieces, especially, got them interested.
They knew that great art has takers everywhere, and Indian craft needed to travel more.
They hope that with Little Elephant, you too can experience the delight of having a handcrafted piece of home luxury
that was made with love and craftsmanship, and brings a piece of artistic heritage into your world.

FOUNDERS
DAVID AGARWAL
Born in New York, David has straddled his birth country and ancestral country, India, with great ease. Graduating from Boston University in 2004, David moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to pursue a career in entertainment production. In his various capacities, he has worked as a camera operator, audio technician and producer for various entertainment shows and films.
When he married Neha in 2017, they decided to stay in India together for a while before settling down in California. These 8 months allowed David to travel extensively through India, making him realize how he’d love to take a part of it back with him when he moved back to the USA.
David truly believes in Little Elephant’s driving philosophy of fairness, exposure and respect that all artistes and art enthusiasts both deserve.
