RangSutra

Being a large and diverse country, India has its share of women entrepreneurs who might not have as vast a global presence and reach that Ivanka has, but have become trendsetters and change-makers in their own right and sphere.

RangSutra is an artisan collective that has changed the lives of thousands of craftspeople across the country.
