Our love for textiles and art forms and a strong will to empower very talented and deserving artisans made us quit and take a big step towards our dream. The magic of thread drew us like a magnet.

An alumnus of IIFT Delhi, Sujata always felt something was missing in her job. She was with Essar, Jindal & IIT before SUTA. Whenever she went back to visit her parents, she came across a lot of traditional weavers with whom she used to end up chatting and they used to pour their hearts out about lack of work and menial wages.
Taniya, an engineer and IIM Lucknow graduate, worked for almost three years with the Tata group and IBM. She calls herself an observer and loves to watch how everything in life is so beautifully intertwined with nature and the world around us. This kindled the creative streak in her to paint and to take photographs. After quitting her cushy corporate jobs, she grappled with many ideas, even tried her hands at product photo-shoots, before realizing that her true potential was not in the pictures but in the products itself. “I had designed a few clothes and had posted them, but instead of getting requests for shoot we were asked about the products.”
Together they run this organisation that supports & empowers over 16000 weavers across India.
