Surprise Crafterz

In the vibrant cultural landscape of Goa, where every sunset holds the promise of new memories, Surprise Crafterz stands out as a pioneer in creating personalized, emotion-driven event experiences. Founded by Saidatta Tilve, a computer engineer with a deep passion for cars, food, and nature, Surprise Crafterz is far more than an event planning venture, it is a manifestation of creativity, joy, and heartfelt connection.

The Genesis of Surprise Crafterz

The story of Surprise Crafterz began in 2019, during an ordinary visit to a Goan beach. Observing a small celebration unfold in the sunset, Saidatta envisioned something far grander, a business built around crafting meaningful, surprise experiences. That moment became the spark for Surprise Crafterz, now celebrated for pioneering the concept of beach proposals in Goa.

Based in Ponda, Goa, Surprise Crafterz specializes in intimate, personalized experiences such as romantic proposals, candlelight dinners, and surprise celebrations. The core values of the brand are rooted in creativity, authenticity, emotional connection, and delivering unforgettable customer experiences.

From Engineering to Entrepreneurship

Saidatta Tilve followed a traditional path, completing his engineering at Don Bosco College of Engineering, before entering the typical 9-to-5 job routine. However, the desire to create something of his own persisted. With limited funds and resources, he began building Surprise Crafterz from scratch, handling every aspect of the business solo, from meeting clients to setting up entire events. Despite physical and mental exhaustion, resilience and passion fueled his journey.

Today, what started as a simple idea has blossomed into a trusted and creative name within Goa’s event scene. Professionally, Saidatta considers this achievement of building a business without a blueprint, from passion and hustle, a testament to his unwavering vision.

A Philosophy of Joy, Authenticity, and Innovation

What sets Surprise Crafterz apart is the belief that every event should tell a unique story. Instead of following rigid templates, the brand thrives on constant innovation, always seeking new themes, locations, and personalized touches. By staying updated through social media, client feedback, and global inspiration, Surprise Crafterz continues to push creative boundaries.

Rather than seeing deadlines or customer expectations as limitations, Saidatta views them as structures that help creativity flourish. His commitment to quality, attention to detail, and authentic setups consistently turn one-time clients into lifelong advocates. He emphasizes:

“People remember how you made them feel… Deliver high-quality, visually stunning, and emotionally meaningful setups, and trust follows.”

Leadership and Teamwork: Driving Purpose Together

Saidatta leads by example, remaining hands-on from the very start. His leadership style fosters inclusivity, with regular team communication and involvement in decision-making, ensuring that everyone shares in the company’s vision. This collective approach ensures consistent service quality, regardless of event size.

Overcoming Challenges, Celebrating Milestones

Challenges like limited capital and resource scarcity early on shaped Saidatta’s resilience. He navigated these obstacles by learning from experience, building a network, and reinvesting his earnings into growth. Today, the most fulfilling part of his work remains the emotional reactions of clients, seeing smiles, tears of joy, and hearing heartfelt messages, which constantly remind him of his mission.

His biggest professional achievement lies in establishing Surprise Crafterz as a trusted brand, while personally, the pride of transforming a simple idea into a thriving business remains unparalleled.

Work-Life Balance and Personal Passions

Running an event-driven business that often extends into late nights requires balance. Saidatta manages this by reconnecting with his passions, cars, food, and nature. These interests serve as creative outlets, helping him recharge and return to his business with renewed inspiration.

Future Vision: Expanding Horizons

Looking ahead, Saidatta aims to expand Surprise Crafterz beyond Goa, bringing the concept of curated surprise experiences to other cities across India. His vision extends to positioning Surprise Crafterz as a proud Goan pioneer contributing to the tourism industry, not just through scenic beaches, but through unforgettable moments woven into people’s lives.

He believes in starting small, staying consistent, and growing through experience:

“Start with what you truly love. Passion is what will keep you going when things get hard. Believe in your idea, even if no one else does at first.”

Conclusion: A Legacy of Thoughtful Celebrations

Surprise Crafterz is a reflection of Saidatta Tilve’s purpose-driven approach, creating memories, spreading joy, and celebrating life’s special moments in the most thoughtful and authentic ways. Every setup, every event is a labor of love, turning personal dreams into vivid realities.
