Made in Humane Club
About NariShakti
Life,by design.
Hi, I am Dhara Shah. I live in Delhi with my husband Ritvvij and our two daughters, Sabi and Vasuda.
I’ve spent my career building things. First Pykih, a data visualisation agency that helped organisations find clarity in complex information. Now Humane Club, a product company that builds elegant, self-sustaining websites for think tanks, academics, media, and businesses who want to do their life’s work without agency fatigue.
Both built on the same conviction: that structure, when designed well, creates freedom rather than constraint. The companies are evidence of that belief. So is this site.
That conviction followed me home. Into how we raise children, how we eat, how we run home, how we think about money. I can’t help looking for the system underneath things, even when it would be easier not to.
NariShakti is where I document that conviction in its most humane form.
Systems thinking and Indic lens applied to family life
I architect.
NariShakti is a personal field record.
A living knowledge base built from one family’s attempt to treat the household as a system. Raising children with intention. Running a home without losing the best hours of the day to invisible mental labour. Making financial decisions that hold up a decade later. And doing all of it through an Indic lens: not as nostalgia, but as a body of knowledge worth understanding, testing, and passing down intact.
What lives here
👫 Parenting
Documented responses to real challenges we faced while raising our children. Start with the skill or the age that’s most relevant to you.
🍜 Health
How our family eats, moves, and recovers. For children and adults equally.
🏠 Home OS
The operational infrastructure of family life. If it lives only in your head, it will cost you every single day.
💰 Wealth
The financial architecture of a family and long-horizon decisions for people who build wealth rather than just accumulate it.
👩🏻💻 Work
Building Humane Club alongside raising two daughters. The specific texture of founder life as a woman in India.
🤰🏻Pregnancy
From conception through the first year: prenatal care, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, weaning, and how we navigated all of it.
Our older daughter
Sabi is the living argument for everything we write about.
Our older daughter has her own corner here. She writes her own blog. She runs Snug Monsters, a business selling bookmarks, Basil Tea, and collectibles. She has published her first book. She is nine.
That arc wasn’t curated for the internet. It was documented, including the hard parts. There were Sundays she didn’t want to open the stall. Karate classes she cried through.

Who is it for
Working professionals who want to bring structure and clarity in their family life. Who want to see how someone else actually thinks, not just what they concluded. Who approach family life the way they’d approach a hard professional problem, with genuine curiosity, a tolerance for being wrong in public, and a bias toward writing things down so they compound over time.
That reader will find this worth their time.
Everything here is something we actually did, questioned, and documented.
The discipline is consistent.
The domains are beautifully, chaotically human.
Welcome. 🥂
