About India Hicks:

Designer, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and mother of five, India Hicks was born in London, England, and comes from both British and design royalty. Her father was famed interior decorator David Hicks, and her mother is Lady Pamela Hicks, whose father was the last Viceroy of India.India has often made bold life choices, which have led to a multi-faceted, unexpected life journey.

She has authored five design books, modeled for Ralph Lauren, among others, and been a host for networks ranging from Bravo to the BBC. She has had her hand in the design world for over two decades – from hotels to home collections.In 2015 India launched her eponymous direct sales brand. This beloved collection was informed by British heritage and a fresh perspective on island life and filled the cupboards of collectors for six years, closing its doors just ahead of the pandemic.

India has a podcast series – a look into the life of her extraordinary mother Lady Pamela. These wonderfully intimate conversations between mother and daughter are a must-listen for anyone interested in history, entertaining, and diplomacy. Some of the tales from the podcast made their way into India’s fifth design book An Entertaining Story, which was published by Rizzoli in 2020 and has been reprinted several times. India continues to consult with fashion, home, and lifestyle brands.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian in 2019, India helped establish the Harbour Island Food bank and partnered with disaster relief agency Global Empowerment Mission (GEM). Having lived in the Bahamas for 25 years, India was uniquely positioned to offer on-the-ground help to those affected.

India, now a member of the Board of Directors, has traveled with GEM to several countries in the aftermath of natural disasters to provide relief. In 2022 and 2023 India is a force in GEMs commitment to those impacted by the Ukraine crisis. India is also a Patron of the Prince’s Trust and a key ambassador for ‘Women Supporting Women,’ a passionate group committed to providing the right help to nurture and empower young women who have been marginalized by society.
