About Us

Let The Soul Play

That is not just a tagline. It is the question Karthik Keyan asked himself before starting Tessa.

How many of us actually do the things we dream about? How many of us put our whole selves into something not because it makes sense on paper, but because it feels right in our bones? Karthik had been thinking about this for a long time. And in 2022, sitting in Bangalore with a clear idea and a lot of conviction, he decided to stop thinking and start building.

Tessa was born from that decision.

Why Tessa Exists

Karthik wanted to build something that did two things at once made people's lives genuinely better, and was honest about its impact on the world around us. Not a brand that slapped the word "eco" on packaging and called it a day. Something real. Something that made you feel good about what you were buying and why.

The menstrual cup came first and not by accident. Period care in India had barely evolved in decades. Millions of women were still spending thousands of rupees every year on disposable pads filled with synthetic chemicals, throwing away mountains of plastic waste each month, and dealing with rashes and discomfort as if it were simply part of life. Karthik looked at all of that and thought this can be better. It has to be better.

So Tessa launched its medical-grade silicone menstrual cup. Safe, reusable, comfortable, and built to last a decade. One small purchase with a genuinely large impact on the person using it, and on the planet they live on.

More Than One Product. One Way of Living.

But Karthik never saw Tessa as just a period care brand. The vision was always bigger than that.

Tessa is an eco-lifestyle brand. Every product we bring out from our menstrual cups to our canvas bags, yoga mats, and everyday essentials is chosen with the same question in mind: does this make someone's daily life better, and does it do so without taking more from the world than it needs to?

We are not chasing trends. We are not trying to be everything to everyone. We are building a small, honest collection of things that people can feel genuinely good about using products that are made thoughtfully, built to last, and designed to replace the disposable habit with something that actually serves you.

The Team

Tessa is three people. Karthik and two others who believed in this enough to give it their time, their energy, and more than a few long evenings figuring things out. We do not have a large operation. We do not have a marketing department or a customer service team of fifty. What we have is a real commitment to every person who orders from us and the ability to actually mean it when we say we care about your experience.

When you write to us, you are writing to the people who built this. When something goes wrong, the people fixing it are the same people who designed the packaging and chose the silicone grade and wrote the instructions. That is not a limitation. That is something we are proud of.

What We Believe

We believe that the things you use every day should be worth using. That a better choice should not cost you more or require you to compromise. That a brand should be honest about what it is and what it is not. And that doing good for people, for the environment does not have to be loud or complicated. Sometimes it is just a well-made product that lasts ten years instead of ten hours.

Tessa is our attempt to put all of that into something you can hold in your hands.
