Nupura Prasanna Walunjkar: Celebrating the Timeless Elegance of Sarees
My name is Nupura Prasanna Walunjkar, and I embarked on this journey in 2021 with a heartfelt desire to celebrate the timeless elegance of sarees and create a platform where modern women can reconnect with our rich cultural heritage. Growing up in India, sarees fascinated me—not just as a garment, but as a symbol of grace, tradition, and storytelling. Every saree tells a unique tale through its weaves, fabrics, and drapes, and with S for Saree, I wanted to bring those stories to life.
Building a Community: The Sparks of India
In addition to S for Saree, I founded the Sparks of India community. This space was created to unite women across the country, offering a platform to share their stories, ideas, and talents. Through this community, we aim to foster creativity, entrepreneurship, and a sense of cultural pride. By organizing events, workshops, and contests, we help women engage in meaningful conversations and collaborations, empowering them to grow both personally and professionally.
Reviving Handlooms and Empowering the Modern Woman
S for Saree isn’t just about selling sarees; it’s about reviving the art of handlooms, supporting local artisans, and showcasing how sarees can be styled for today’s modern woman. My vision has always been to make sarees accessible and empowering for women of all ages, allowing them to embrace their cultural identity while confidently expressing their individuality.
A Journey of Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose
This journey has been one of passion, perseverance, and purpose. With S for Saree and Sparks of India, I am committed to celebrating our heritage while empowering women to embrace their uniqueness in a modern world.
