About Sujatra

Chitralekha Das started Sujatra in 2016, drawing on Indian paintings, art and traditional fabrics to design ethnic and fusion wear for women. Run out of Pune, the brand keeps its production in-house and treats craft as the point rather than a marketing line. It has since raised funding to grow its reach, including among the Indian diaspora abroad.
