Shweta Madhvankar is a resident of the Shivaji Nagar area of Pune. Her husband works as a housekeeper and the couple has two school-going kids. While sharing a helping hand with her husband in financial terms, Shweta started stitching. For advanced training, she joined the Fashion Design Course initiated by the GTT Foundation. After completing the training, Shweta started a small business of stitching blouses that is running quite well.

Shweta expresses, “The training by the GTT Foundation was very helpful for my stitching career. Initially, I wasn’t able to give perfect cuts to the blouses. Along with that, fewer customers approached me for stitching. However, after the training, I was able to make better blouses with perfect cuts. This has also contributed to my production rate and the number of customers. I stitch 15-20 blouses in a month. My business is slowly growing.”
