My Story
Hey, I’m Vaishu, most people just call me the saree drapist. I’m all about arts you can do with your hands – saree draping, nail art, you name it. I noticed even folks who've worn sarees forever sometimes struggle or want to turn it into a business. So I started workshops. My happiest moments? When someone tells me, ‘Vaishu, I never thought I’d get it, but now I can!’ I teach mostly in English, but Tamil and Telugu, no problem.
