Doing the right thing was something Priya could not stop thinking about when she turned 40. Working in IT and across the Tech sector, her IT Project business was doing well. But helping other women less fortunate than her was her calling.
Priya founded Punar, an ethical textiles business, knowing consumers also wanted to do the right thing. And that buying textiles for the home or as gifts was one way this could be done.
Buy an item from Punar supports a community of weavers who are paid fair wages and and enjoy thriving careers. The handloom fabric is used high quality recycled yarn, developed through upcycling textile landfill waste.
Priya is a warm and energetic person who is making the world better. Go girl.
