Our Journey: Weaving Passion into a National Platform
From humble beginnings to platforms like Startup Mahakumbh and Bharat Tex, see how we have turned a simple stitch into a movement for social change.
Receiving a National One District One Product Award in 2024 was a significant milestone. It validates our mission and the skill of the artisans I work with, giving us the josh to keep growing.
As a token of gratitude, I crocheted this logo for NSRCEL, the incubation hub at IIM Bangalore that helped shape my vision. This video shows the precise, stitch by stitch process of creating a custom logo.
It was an honor to meet and interact with Cabinet Minister Piyush Goyal at the Bharat Tex exhibition. We discussed the future of Indian handicrafts and how to further support our artisan communities.
Here I am at the Startup Mahakumbh in New Delhi. This event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with innovators and share the story of Aamani's Crochet on a national stage.
The energy at Startup Mahakumbh was incredible. I had wonderful conversations with students and visitors who were curious about our craft and our mission to empower women artisans across India.

I was invited to speak at Mahila Money Talks about my journey. In this clip, I introduce myself and explain how Aamani's Crochet works to create livelihood opportunities for rural women.
This is the promotional graphic for my session with Women's Web and Mahila Money. I shared my story of turning a passion into a profession, hoping to inspire other women entrepreneurs.

About The Journey: From Passion to a National Platform
When you choose to engage with Aamani's Crochet, you are supporting a social enterprise built on the pillars of heritage and empowerment. My journey, from graphic design to becoming an IIM-incubated entrepreneur, informs every aspect of our work. Whether you are looking for a custom crochet portrait or seeking to join our workshops, you are tapping into a professional process that values precision, sustainability, and the dignity of rural artisans.
My path to entrepreneurship has been defined by the desire to keep our virasat alive. What began as a personal hobby with my daughter, Aamani, has evolved into a structured venture recognized by the Ministry of Textiles and supported by prestigious institutions like IIM Bangalore.
More Than Just a Craft
Every handmade crochet and macrame piece we create, or skill we teach, serves a dual purpose. It brings a unique, artistic element into your life while providing sustainable livelihood opportunities for women in rural clusters. Being a state-certified artisan means I bring technical rigor to our craft. We do not just make products; we solve creative challenges, such as the precision required for custom corporate logos or the specific gauge needed for complex garments.
Why Our Journey Matters to You
If you have landed here, you are likely looking for authentic, handmade quality. Because we have scaled our operations from local exhibitions to national stages like Startup Mahakumbh, we understand how to blend traditional techniques with modern needs.
- Quality Assurance: As a mentor and artisan, I ensure every stitch is calculated and durable.

We are here to prove that handmade is not just about nostalgia. It is about creating a durable, professional, and beautiful future for Indian craftsmanship. Let us help you bring your vision to life through the rhythm of our crochet hooks.
