🌿 As the Founder and Chairperson of the Save Handloom Foundation, I lead a non-profit Public Charitable Trust committed to preserving the rich heritage of handloom weaving 🧵 while empowering weavers through advanced technologies like Blockchain, AI, and AR 💡. Our core values of transparency, authenticity, traceability, and sustainability guide every step we take.In an industry where fashion is the second-largest polluter after oil and gas 🛢️, the need to break free from fast fashion’s harmful "wear once, dispose" mindset is urgent. My mission is to champion slow fashion 🌱—“buy less, choose well, and make it last”—as a crucial step towards reducing landfill waste and protecting our health from threats like microplastics, which have been found in our body, blood and even in human brain 🧠. Together, we can build a healthier planet and a brighter future 🌍.
