WHO WE ARE

Together-Ek Saath Collective Foundation was born out of a collective need, triggered by the unforeseen situation, to support livelihoods. Our heart and mission is set on generating simple sources of livelihood while honing skills, new & old. We focus on working with textile remnants and waste to create simple everyday products by currently engaging women makers.

We, the founders, are practising clothing & textile designers and it is through our individual practices at our labels that we are learning the value of all that is local & its relevance for development & inclusivity, especially in the current situation. We sincerely believe that the future of all that we choose to do lies deeply in the power of people coming together. #strongertogether

Founders : Karishma Shahani Khan (of Ka-Sha), Ujjawal Dubey (of Antar - Agni )

Our industry and its many stakeholders have been affected by the current situation and continue to be so as we speak. We find that through this collaboration of networks our outreach and impact can be far greater. 

We are using technology to strengthen our community and provide sources to assist and develop those we work with. We know that needs don’t stop, it only the means that do and we hope to grow stronger together so that these means don’t stop.
