Authenticity and warmth enthusiast :)
Founder, CEO, errands-runner, creator, painter and poet.
Fayakun has been an abiding dream.
Here, I play with my love of travel, design and textiles to create tangible stories that support rural artisans and let me translate my love for art into clothing.
I co-create textiles, collect & design one of a kind clothing or refashion, recycle, patchwork existing pieces.

Zubair Yusuf
Natural Dyeing Partner
Zubair is a young generation master printer from Ajrakhpur, Kutch. He is my friend, resource person when it comes to dyeing plain colors on fabrics using natural dyes and techniques.
We have been working together for over a decade now and all our fabrics take the intensity of my color palette thanks to him!
Parvinder Pal
Khadi Research & Development Mentor
Parvinder sir has been guiding me since I graduated from NIFT in 2011. I continue to be humbled and inspired by his dedication and selfless service to the craft sector and his human approach towards grassroot people.
He has an experience of over three decades in development of artisan clusters across India.
He is the guide, the facilitator whom I fall back upon for understanding and connecting to rural supply chains that I work with.
Apart from being an independent consultant for various organizations like UNDP, World Bank & UNIDO, he has also been an entrepreneur himself and director at the MSME Foundation.
Harsh Lodha
Investing Partner & Cheerleader
Social Entrepreneur, Travel Enthusiast.
CEO & Founder at Hybrid Internet and WeforSHE
Harsh is a kindred soul, an emerging young voice championing feminism and a dear friend.
He has been a cheerleader and supporter of Fayakun for the ethos of it, and continues to provide his immense insights into the changing socio-economic-political landscape of the non-urban India from a first hand perspective.
That keeps inspiring to create from fresh perspectives and keeps us connected to the grassroots.
Immensely grateful for a co-conspirator :)
