Taniya, an engineer and IIM Lucknow graduate, worked for almost three years with the Tata group and IBM. She calls herself an observer and loves to watch how everything in life is so beautifully intertwined with nature and the world around us. This kindled the creative streak in her to paint and to take photographs. After quitting her cushy corporate jobs, she grappled with many ideas, even tried her hands at product photo-shoots, before realizing that her true potential was not in the pictures but in the products itself. “I had designed a few clothes and had posted them, but instead of getting requests for shoot we were asked about the products.”

Together they run this organisation that supports & empowers over 16000 weavers across India.
