Delhi-centered agritech startup Resham Sutra makes solar power-based equipment that empowers rural silk weavers, women, as well as their family and relatives to boost their efficiency, boost their earnings, and lead superior lives.
Immediately after finishing his MBA from Management Development Institute, Gurugram, Kunal Vaid chose to be a part of his family business Needlepoint Textile Products Pvt. Ltd. in Delhi.
Kunal worked with Needlepoint, which had partnered along with the Jharkhand authorities to sector the world’s initially organic certified silk merchandise in the state, for almost ten years.
In 2011, Kunal chose to pay a visit to the weaver communities in Jharkhand to be aware of the bottlenecks while in the creation method. Through his visit, he was exposed to the intense agony and drudgery rural women went by means of producing Tussar silk yarn.
He noticed Females applied the ‘thigh reeling’ technique, and, in the procedure, experienced bought cuts all over their skin and suffered from backache and joint pains. They ended up socially looked down upon on account of their work done.
Pained, Kunal decided to leverage new-age technologies to help these rural women of all ages without any cost on their own from the process of thigh reeling.
Started off being a hobby for Kunal, this venture in no time blossomed into Resham Sutra 5 years later because the need for his prototype equipment improved.
In 2015, Kunal founded Resham Sutra in Delhi to empower India’s rural business owners to profitably create and market many different silk and handloom items and a variety of affordable electrical reeling, weaving, and spinning devices.
The majority of Resham Sutra’s devices are driven by photovoltaic Strength, which vastly increases the operating speed and creates a predictable and substantially better income for more than 10,000 silk workers in India.
