Empowering Indian Handloom Weavers and Connecting Cultures

Sudeshi

Challenges in markets & interactions with customers mark the start of entrepreneurship.

In the heart of India, a rich tradition of handloom saree weaving has been passed down through generations of artisans. Despite their extraordinary skills, the Indian handloom weavers often struggle to make a sustainable living. Moved by their plight, we - Eswar, Elango, and Vijay - were united to make a difference in the lives of these artisans while preserving the beautiful art form they create.


Witnessing the challenges faced by weavers first-hand, we realized that Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) also encountered difficulties when purchasing these traditional sarees. Issues such as overpricing, limited variety, store accessibility, and color discrepancies between online images and physical products were barriers to connecting these exquisite sarees with a wider audience.

Success in entrepreneurship hinges on discovering effective solutions to challenges.

With our diverse experiences, we knew we had the skills to make a change. Eswar brought his extensive background in the retail & fashion industry in developing a platform that caters to the needs and preferences of consumers worldwide.

Meanwhile, Elango and Vijay having shaped multiple tech startups with expertise in developing and launching tech products across multiple markets developed an innovative user friendly e-commerce platform that would seamlessly connect the skilled jandloom weavers to consumers worldwide.

To further empower the weavers and expand the platform's offerings, we devised an efficient, affordable method for thousands of small retailers and weavers to showcase their products. This approach significantly expanded the range of sarees available on our platform, providing customers with an extensive selection of designs to choose from..
