This week’s Voices For Local episode features Karishma Kajaria, the Founder of handmade ceramics brand Nitara. Karishma tells Monisha about her move from fashion to ceramics and how Nitara is a one-woman team. If that’s not inspiring enough, she also shares some practises at Nitara that prove how fair-trade and sustainability are not just buzzwords for her, and how she overcame people underestimating her as a young woman in business.

To check out Nitara’s work, log onto www.shopnitara.com, or follow their journey on Instagram @nitaraindia. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial. We would love to hear from you and your recommendations for homegrown brands that you think we should feature on our lineup of Voices For Local, so reach out to us @voicesforlocal on Instagram.
