Silpita’s interest in handlooms and Indian textiles was nurtured right from her early days ,spent in Kolkata, as she observed family members wearing traditional Indian wear in Handwoven and Handcrafted fabrics.

After completing her double Master’s Degree in Economics and Business Management, she spent a long professional career in the Indian Financial sector, including Investments, during which she won many accolades and awards. Her last assignment was as the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) with one of India’s leading Pension Funds.

Her love for the Indian ethnic and her innate sense of style made it a natural choice to follow her passion of promoting the rich heritage of Indian Artisanal products like Sarees, Textiles, Jewelry and other artefacts.

Thus, Silk Petalss was born, an E -commerce company showcasing the beautiful traditional weaves and products from artisans living in the interior villages and towns of India.

Silpita enjoys interacting with the weaving community and understanding their perspectives. She is keenly interested in the styles of the modern Indian woman while being rooted to the traditions of the past.
