How I can help
My professional background
I am a social entrepreneur and founder of a purpose-driven fashion, wellness, and Home -decor brand OMSutra. OMSutra was born with a desire to preserve the rich but dwindling craft traditions of my roots in India and to conserve the beauty of handmade cultural traditions by creating positive change to benefit artisan communities and marginalized women groups through ethical and sustainable trades.
I'm an MBA and have more than 20 yrs of experience in the fields of product design and manufacturing. I am also a people-centered product designer and passionate about innovating modern-day products that bring unique handmade goods to the mainstream consumer while sustaining craft traditions and creating market exposure for artisans in India.
In my collection, I use handwoven heritage textiles that are hand-printed and hand-embroidered using eco-friendly, natural, and plant-based dyes. They are thus a confluence of convenience, creativity, craft, design, and traditions.
Having spent more than a decade in this field, I offer diverse skill sets, including product development, market research, business mentoring, and artisan sourcing. My artistic flair, imagination, and love for colors have made OMSutra my passion project for the past several years, which brings me to a full circle to span a cultural bridge between India and the USA, the two places I consider home.
Specialties: Sourcing, Product Development, Production, and Operations. I am a design consultant with high experience handling production in the apparel and textile industries. I have over a decade of experience working within the artisan sector, sourcing socially responsible artisan products, and having great knowledge of artisanal textiles from India. Highly experienced in a diverse set of skills in the textile industry, including new product development, project management, market research, business mentoring, and artisan sourcing
