Crafted by Her. Backed by Krishti.

In countless small towns and villages, women with extraordinary talent sit quietly behind sewing machines, embroidering beauty into pieces of cloth. Their stitches are neat, their patterns intricate, and their work speaks of a craftsmanship passed down through generations. Yet, despite their skill, many remain financially dependent, unable to translate their art into a sustainable income.

For years, the SuiDhaga initiative worked to change this reality—training women in tailoring and embroidery so they could earn from home or within their communities. But training alone is just the first step. Once the needlework was mastered, a bigger challenge emerged: How do you turn skill into a livelihood?

That’s where Krishti steps in.

What Is Krishti?

Krishti is more than an empowerment program—it is the bridge between learning and earning. While SuiDhaga equips women with skills, Krishti ensures those skills flourish into thriving micro-enterprises.

We provide:

• Modern production infrastructure – Well-equipped workspaces with high-quality sewing machines, cutting tools, and embroidery setups.
• Collaborative work environments – Spaces where women can learn from each other, share ideas, and work on joint orders for larger markets.
• Marketing and sales support – From branding guidance to connecting with e-commerce platforms and physical retailers.
• Financial literacy and entrepreneurship training – Teaching the basics of running a business, pricing products, and managing income.

Here, a skilled woman is not just another seamstress. She becomes a creator, a leader, and an entrepreneur.

Why Krishti Matters

While India is home to millions of women artisans, many are trapped in low-paying work or seasonal jobs that offer no security. The lack of access to modern tools, competitive markets, and business networks keeps them in a cycle of dependence.

Krishti exists to break that cycle. We believe:

• Economic independence changes everything – When a woman earns her own income, she gains decision-making power in her household, invests in her children’s education, and becomes a role model in her community.
• Traditional skills deserve modern opportunities – Handcrafted products can have a global audience if given the right exposure.
• Sustainability is key – Instead of temporary aid, we focus on creating self-sustaining business models for women.

Meet Anjali – From Housewife to Entrepreneur

Anjali had been stitching clothes for neighbours for years, but it was always for minimal payment. After training with SuiDhaga, she joined Krishti’s production unit. Today, she runs her own small clothing brand, supplying kurtas and saree blouses to boutiques in Kolkata. Her income now covers her children’s school fees entirely.

Meet Parveen – A Master of Embroidery

Parveen’s embroidery work is exquisite, but her reach was limited to local fairs. Through Krishti, she learned about product photography, pricing for online markets, and quality control for bulk orders. She now sells her work to buyers in Delhi, Mumbai, and even overseas.

Setting up and sustaining Krishti requires:
