Sujata & Taniya Biswas (Suta)

Today, on Voices for Local, Monisha is back with a brand that makes her favourite outfit ever - the sari. She speaks to the co-founders of Suta, Sujata and Taniya Biswas, who gave up their corporate life to pursue their passion. The sister duo tells Monisha what it was like to grow up in Odisha and West Bengal seeing women wear saris everyday, how they manage to work with around 16,000 weavers and artisans across the country, how they resolve fights between each other, and how creating a happy, inclusive and open work environment has been one of their biggest milestones. To check out Suta’s work, log onto their website suta.in, and follow their journey on Instagram @suta_bombay. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial.
