Meet Bhagayshree Akhade

Design is the way of life. Its all around you in all the things you see, thinks Bhagayshree Akhade.

In a family of three, this twenty-five year old coming from Aarey colony, she puts her aesthetic to the products she creates everyday, currently working on
Warli Fridge Magnets.

Before joining Tisser, she worked in a corporate lead initiative where she grasped on the skill of
designing and making jewellery.
Not having a formal education post school those skills came to use when soon after she started to work
with Tisser.
Her acumen for precise designing was put into Warli painting. Since the beginning she was savvy with
the different techniques of painting on wood, cloth, clay etc. Since her start of the Tisser experience she
has been proactive in teaching others the know-how to do it.
In her experience of working with Tisser for two years, she has been more involved with making of
products as compared to the market operations and exposure.
With often providing tips of time optimisation and making harmony among women in communities, she
is the most sincere of the lot.
With the income she generates of 2000-5000k from the orders that range as per the market demands
and products, she makes a point to save for her kid’s education.
Putting her child to an English medium school is a badge of honour to the her and she works hard to
ensure that he grows to be nourished and a well-rounded individual.
She dreams to diversify the activities of Tisser to be more approachable and accessible to more women
in rural communities of India, so much so that women don’t earn enough to sustain but to provide for
themselves.
She reaches closer to her ambition everyday when she contributes her time and effort, one product, one
stroke of brush at a time
