Be The Change you want to see
"Be The Change you want to see" Since my childhood, I have always been a feminist and fought for women empowerment in my own small ways.
When I started my enterprise, I got an opportunity to consciously nurture women artisans , to train them to their possible potential knowing and being able to identify their unique skills.
To train them and upskill them has been my deep desire so that they are financially strong and independent. I got an opportunity to acquire skills to encourage women empowerment while doing the ISB Goldman Sachs 10000 women management program too!

One such example is Navneeta, who comes from a weaver family and she joined our enterprise as support staff. Navneeta belonged to an affluent weaver family in Nalgonda. Due to no weaving orders in the late 90s and early 2000 s, she and other women of her village forcefully had to abandon weaving. They moved to the city in search of better opportunities.
Her husband took up a driver's job, while Navneeta joined us. She slowly upgraded and learned on the job and now has become a full-time tailor and a hand embroidery Kaarigar. Over the years, her earnings have multiplied and she has gained a tremendous amount of confidence too. Recently in a tragic incident, she lost her husband.
She now takes care of her children's education and entirely fends for her family as a single parent. We are proud to be associated with women like Navneeta.
