The Problem

India’s handloom sector faces declining relevance, inconsistent demand, and limited design innovation. Over 55 of India’s 136 documented weaves are endangered.

Vision & Impact

To make handloom a part of everyday life again—building a scalable, ethical fashion ecosystem where heritage crafts remain economically viable, culturally relevant, and environmentally responsible for future generations.

Awards & Honors
