2020 has been a harbinger of many radical initiatives, whether we like it or not! It remains to be seen what stays and what becomes redundant but it is clear now that fair trade and ethical and sustainable fashion are social movements that will endure, since people care a lot about fashion and clothing including …
It took me a long time to understand and appreciate Indian art, especially folk art! When the idea of launching a curator platform took hold of me, I started looking at everything differently. I realized how my personal collections almost always veered towards folk art. Upon investigating closer, a whole new world opened up for …
Tell us about your background (academic and work background). Before my business of boomerangs, I had completed my Bachelor in Railway engineering and had been working as senior project manager for more than 3 years.
