When I first imagined Handlooom.com, I thought I was building an ecommerce company. A place where people could buy authentic handloom products. A platform that would connect artisans with customers. A business. Nothing more. Or so I believed. The more I travelled through weaving communities, the more I realised I...

Every year, Delhi lives two completely different lives. One is the Delhi that appears in travel brochures. A city of history. A city of opportunity. A city of ambition. A city that powers India’s economy and politics. The other Delhi arrives quietly around October. The sky disappears. The sun becomes...
