## About

I am a Textile & Fashion Business Consultant operating at the intersection of industrial entrepreneurship and academic research\. As a founder incubated at NSRCEL \(IIM\-B\) and FIELD \(IIM\-V\), and a former NIFT Assistant Professor, I specialize in transforming traditional craft into scalable, contemporary business models\. How I add value: For Brands: Research\-driven strategy for product development, supply chain optimization, and "Loom\-to\-Market" scaling\. For Aspirants: Mentorship and curriculum design that bridges the gap between design education and industry reality\. For Ecosystems: Developing sustainable, purpose\-driven frameworks for small\-scale textile clusters and artisan\-led value chains\. ​Let’s connect to build ideas with soul and systems with profit\.
