“I studied only till class 12, but it was never a regret. My father and grandfather were handloom weavers, so it was almost natural for me to take this up too. It’s been an ancestral profession, but that’s not the reason I chose it and carried it forward. I absolutely enjoy it!

My cousins and a few of the friends work with me and it’s a great space to be in. The best part about this job for all of us is each other’s company. We spend almost 10 hours together every day, weaving the most beautiful handloom sarees with different patterns and designs.

I have a wonderful family, who are happy with whatever I have to offer to them. A small, happy family and a set of fun friends at work as a team will ensure you’re sorted for life. You can fight every difficulty and live through all dark phases with them by your side.”
