Weekends are all about downtime. After a week full of work to meet deadlines, everybody needs a breather to relax and recuperate. From watching a favourite web series to planning a vacation, weekends are designated as family and me time. Vanshika Kaji, Co-Founder, Knya, talks to BrandWagon Online about her weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
Honestly, the one thing that centres me is spending time with my twins, Dev and Tara. It’s a joyful reset; their energy, curiosity, and little moments of wonder bring me back to the present. It’s in those everyday moments that I’m reminded of what truly matters, beyond the constant hustle of building a company.
How do you spend your weekends?
Weekends are mostly for family. We’ll usually have slow mornings, then take the kids to the park or a café, maybe do a bit of reading. I also like to use weekends to step back and think about life’s bigger picture. Sometimes the best strategic ideas come over a cup of chai on Sunday afternoon.
What are your favourite gadgets?
Honestly, I’m not very gadget-friendly. I’m actually known for missing calls and messages. My close friends and family often joke that I live in a small offline bubble. I like to disconnect and not be overly wired all the time. It gives me a clearer headspace.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
Maybe an interior designer — I’ve always been drawn to the idea of finding beauty in the little things. The way a space feels, how objects come together to tell a story — it’s a kind of creativity that feels both personal and powerful. I think I’d love building spaces that make people feel something.
Which is your favourite vacation spot?
Japan — without a doubt. For the matcha, the ramen, the quiet beauty, and the way it balances modern life with timeless traditions. It’s one of those places that feels both grounding and inspiring at the same time.
