About the Company Very Much Indian
They brought the story of Paithani sarees, the queen of silk and a part of Indian heritage. This is an emotion gifted in India. The founders explained how people are still unaware of Paithani sarees. They want to take forward this weaver’s heritage. The scattered and unorganized saree market size is ₹38000 crores. There is no such brand present in e-commerce that revives these Indian sarees. The founders have worked on that gap. The brand brings authentic handloom and traditionally woven sarees from weavers to customers. Along with pythony sarees, they have revived a few other weaves such as ilkal, khadi, tussars etc. Their vision is to make the brand the most trusted traditional Indian saree brand. Vishnu Bhagirat Bhalere is their 63-year-old senior weaver. The weave can take from 6 days to 1 year to finish. Currently, they work with more than 400 weavers.
