1a. A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
Dear Potential Investor,
I am Aarty Shammbasivan, the founder of Aartz Creationz, and I am thrilled to present you with this unique investment opportunity. Our journey began in 2020 as a passion project, driven by the desire to bridge the gap between Indian textiles and Australian design sensibilities. Over the past four years, we have successfully showcased our vision through numerous exhibitions, garnering enthusiastic support from our community and customers alike.
Today, Aartz Creationz stands at a pivotal juncture. We are ready to transition from a buy-and-sell model to a full-scale fashion brand, producing our own clothing line that embodies the perfect blend of two rich cultural heritages. This shift represents not just a business opportunity, but a chance to make a lasting impact on the global ethnic wear market.
Our success thus far has been built on a foundation of authenticity, quality, and cultural appreciation. We have cultivated a loyal customer base that eagerly anticipates our expansion into a dedicated fashion line. Moreover, our commitment to sustainability, artisan empowerment, and youth engagement sets us apart in an industry increasingly focused on ethical production and conscious consumerism.
The global ethnic wear market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing demand for sustainable, handcrafted, and culturally unique fashion. Aartz Creationz is perfectly positioned to capitalise on this trend, offering products that resonate with consumers seeking authenticity and a deeper connection to heritage.
We also believe youth engagement drives societal progress. By involving young people in meaningful activities, we benefit from their fresh ideas, fostering positive change. This nurtures future leaders and creators. We will actively seek upcoming talent to join our journey and support theirs.
We are seeking an investment of AUD 160,000 in exchange for a 20% profit share in our first 1,000-piece production run. This capital will enable us to scale our operations, launch our exclusive fashion line, and expand our reach beyond Australia into international markets through e-commerce and strategic partnerships.
I invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we transform Aartz Creationz into a global brand that celebrates cultural fusion, empowers artisans, and delivers unique, high-quality fashion to discerning customers worldwide. Together, we can weave a tapestry of success that honours tradition while embracing innovation.
Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to the possibility of partnering with you to bring our vision to life.

The success of our exhibitions and the growing demand for our unique fusion wear have validated our business model and paved the way for our next significant milestone: the launch of our own fashion line. This transition represents a natural evolution of our brand, allowing us to fully realise our vision of creating a global platform that celebrates the fusion of Australian and Indian artistry.
As we stand on the cusp of this exciting new phase, we look back on our journey with pride and forward with anticipation.
