Ramachandran is a handloom weaver who manufactures and sells cotton and poly cotton sarees to customers. The inherited family business is named TRADITIONAL BUSINESS. The master weaver gives the design and the materials. Ramachandran weaves his yarn by making a living and by employing twenty-thirty workers.
Ramachandran says that tradition is also involved in this business which they have been doing for generations with the help of his family members. The business focuses on the quality of the product. Cotton sarees made by Ramachandran are a quality product that works for a lifetime.
He says, “The order he receives takes a day to weave two sarees. Due to Covid, he gets Rs 350 – 400 per day and an average of ₹6000-₹7000 per month for weaving a saree and that he rather finds it very difficult to pay the labours for making the saree .”
Uses of a Yarn saree:
