Early years
Harsh and Ankesh began their journey with a modest upbringing, supported by their mother's unwavering guidance amid financial struggles, fueled by a passion for textiles. Inspired by the grace of airplanes to soar across greater heights and a realization of humanity's interconnectedness, they recognized the insignificance of individual problems amidst the vastness of existence. This epiphany drove their ambitions beyond personal success towards a legacy of societal impact.
Motivated by the desire to contribute meaningfully to humanity, they aim to leave an enduring imprint on generations. Their aspirations evolved into a quest to craft a legacy that transcends time, one that inspires and shapes the world's narrative. Amidst life's complexities, Harshand Ankesh's visions emerged, embodying resilience, determination, and an undying dedication to form a legacy of profound significance.
Dream
Foreign markets value customization, a luxury primarily enjoyed by the elite. Rolls Royce epitomized this by tailoring cars exclusively, emphasizing uniqueness and setting them apart.
For prestigious companies abroad, "handcrafted" symbolized sophistication and exclusive taste for the wealthy. However, in India, the term held a different meaning. Despite artisans' efforts in creating beautiful goods, their work has been often undervalued in this diverse nation.
As WNW's Director, I, Harsh Vardhan Bhotika, have this dream to change what 'handcrafted' means in India. I believe our handmade things can impress people worldwide. I'm determined to share India's amazing craft skills with the world. Our artistry of hand embroidery has the power to win hearts globally.
