On this episode of Voices For Local, Monisha chats with Gauri Malik, the founder of Sirohi, a brand supported by her non–profit, the Skilled Samaritan Foundation. Gauri speaks about Sirohi’s mission to provide income opportunities to women from marginalised communities, the resistance she faced while reaching out to these women, how she connects these artisans to designers from around the globe, and many more aspects of her journey.
