This Women’s Day, we celebrate Shankuntala from Channapatna (Ramanagara)—a cocoon craft artisan who is turning tradition into a thriving, tech-enabled enterprise. From exploring social media for innovative design inspiration to selling products online, she is expanding her market one post at a time. After completing the digital training, she’s now confidently using UPI for seamless payments and Meesho to source colours and fabrics—fueling new product innovations and scaling plans with her husband’s support.
Her journey is a powerful reminder: when women artisans go digital, their craft reaches farther—and their dreams grow bigger.
Shakuntala was digitally trained under the Digital Upskilling of Women Entrepreneurs programme in collaboration with Lowe's where we are empowering 400
