The daughter of a master weaver of Pochampally Ikkat, the 16-year old, took up the reins of the household after her father’s sudden demise. The class XI student continues to run the looms, and with the help of her mother and uncle, has kept the great tradition alive. FLO StyleTatva has sponsored her stall in the FLO-assisted entrepreneur’s pavilion.

It has made special attempt to include a pavilion fir beauty, wellness and health.

It has been designed as an interactive venue for pan-India FLO members - both as participants and guests. Through FLO StyleTatva, FLO will be realizing an integral part of its mission i.e. empowering women by supporting their ‘enterprise’ quotient. Being a non-profit initiative, part of the proceeds from FLO StyleTatva will also be channelled to select projects empowering women,” said Sona Chatwani, Chairperson of FLO Hyderabad Chapter, 2019-20.
