The story behind Noor

Mahak

Mahak Sharma

I am Mahak, a breastfeeding mother to a beautiful one-year-old and the founder of this brand, named after my daughter Noor—my light during one of the most challenging phases of my life.

After losing my job post maternity leave, I found myself navigating motherhood alongside postpartum depression, ongoing health issues, daily cervical pain, and frequent migraines. With no support system, no external help, and very little trust from those around me, I started this business using only my own savings when my daughter was just 10 months old.

Balancing a baby and a new business came with constant criticism, self-doubt, and countless ups and downs—but I chose to keep going.

I chose candles because they became my source of calm and healing. In moments of pain and emotional overwhelm, a lit candle brought stillness, comfort, and hope. Each candle is carefully crafted, not just to scent a space, but to create warmth, peace, and a gentle pause in everyday life.

This brand is more than candles—it's a story of resilience, motherhood, and choosing light, even in the darkest times.
