Our Newsroom

Sparking curiosity, one outfit at a time.

We've been shattering gender stereotypes since 2015. Our founder, Jaya Iyer, started Svaha USA after shopping for her space-obsessed daughter and finding only boys’ clothes. She resolved to fill the gaps in the clothing market and help girls express their love for STEAM. Almost a decade later, Svaha has grown to sell a full range of adult clothing, accessories, and STEAM-themed goodies.

STEAM is for everyone -- and Svaha is leading the revolution.

Includes Svaha logos, lifestyle images, and video clips.

A short style guide for referring to Svaha in the press.

Our Founder

Thanks to inspiration from her daughter, Jaya founded Svaha USA and became determined to change the landscape of apparel.
