MEET NAMRATA
Namrata spent her childhood in the steel town of Bokaro, India. There, with her parents, both doctors, and with her sister she imbibed the values that are her guiding principles today. She wrote poetry, painted, sang and dreamt of becoming a scientist. Her dreams came true - as a microbiologist she taught nursing students. And then life presented her with the gift of life – a daughter. At that moment of motherhood, she chose to nurture her child at home and returned to her art. She entered the World of fabrics and weaving embracing fabric as her new canvas. Since 2011, she has supported weavers, tailors and artisans who make her art come alive. She established Namrata Weaves – a socially and environmentally responsible company – that produces unique artifacts, such as sarees, and other works of art. After all, as Namrata says, “the saree is not a garment, it is an emotion.” Set up an appointment to meet Namrata
NAMRATA WEAVES
