Obstacles knocked on the door of Sumera Khayyu Pathan frequently but she has always addressed them strongly. She currently resides in Pune, Maharashtra with three of her children. Pathan runs an apparel production and training centre in her household with two rooms for livelihood. Things have not always been fruitful for Pathan’s family as they went through a very tough time. She recollected all the skills she had and joined the GTT Foundation in its Digital Fashion Design Program.

The designer learned and trained many trainees in the organization. She is a true inspiration to several women. She is a successful micro-entrepreneur.
