Creating Value from Textile Waste Together
The “Waste to Wealth” project transforms discarded fabric waste into valuable products while empowering women with sustainable employment. By repurposing textiles into items like bags and home decor, the project reduces landfill waste and promotes a circular economy. Through training in recycling and upcycling, it supports women’s financial independence and contributes to environmental and social betterment.

Empowering Artisans through Enterprise since 2015
Derived from the French word ’tisser’, meaning ‘to weave’, Tisser is dedicated to empowering artisans across India by celebrating handmade crafts and connecting creators with consumers. Since its inception in 2015, Tisser has supported over 10,000 artisans through various producer groups, fostering sustainable growth and economic independence for women artisans.
The idea of Tisser was born during her work with the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) at the World Bank. She observed that thousands of artisans in rural India depend on traditional crafts for their livelihood, yet lack market access, innovation, and fair pricing.
