Our Journery

Unnati Silks is a way of re-defining comfort, luxury and
elegance for today’s woman.

Rooted in our Indian ethos since 1980, and looking at the
world with curious eyes, we constantly strive for innovation, originality and beauty in everything we create. From fiber to fabric to factory to end functionality, Unnati Silks has grown from a need for products without limitations that could handle managing home, grueling office meetings, glamorous weddings, or simply heading to a movie.

Unnati is all about creating awesome fashion which is good
for the maker, good for the wearer and good for the planet

Our Philosophy

CREATIVE . AUTHENTIC . SUSTAINABLE

At Unnati, we believe that Fashion can be traditional and contemporary at the same time. It can be creative, fun, experimental – All these along with being Sustainable.

Working with weavers and artisans across the Sub-Continent, we craft rich Indian Textiles – each having a story of its own. Deeply rooted in ancient methodology of weaving and amazed by this fascinating world of colors, prints, textures, weaves – we are overwhelmed with millions of possibilities these can create.

Our sheer love for handlooms and handicrafts is the most important impetus for our 40 years of cherished
journey.

THE FOUNDER

THE FOUNDER

For the non-living entity called Unnati Silks, Devender Ladha
(Founder & MD ) has created a living structure called Team Unnati comprising a devoted and actively contributing family of wife and three children, a body of craftsmen from 21 states of India to give shape to his dreams in fabric, an online support team, and others in various capacities.

Like in the saying “To miss the target can be forgiven, aiming low cannot”, it applies to him too. He does not wait for the opportunity, he creates it. A journey of success interspersed with plenty of hardship it is his acumen and persistent efforts that have seen him through, which he attributes to the blessings of the Divine.

"To take India's artisans to the center stage of the world is our goal" says Priyanka Ladha, Founder and CEO of unnatisilks.com. With her entire childhood surrounded with
colors and weaves, Priyanka established the online division of Unnati Silks and transitioned a traditional venture to a Global Sustainable fashion brand with customer base spanning 15 countries. She also pioneered India's first Handlooms Directory connecting artisans and businesses together. 


Unnati Silks has been shaped as pictured. It continues to run as a family tradition that believes in the motto of “Business with a Cause”.

IMPACT

To be conscious, to enrich the environment and not pollute it, is a spiritual principle and a social responsibility. In our own humble way, Unnati works at various levels of social stratum. By supporting livelihoods of more than 200+ weavers and artisans, we work for the upliftment of the handlooms community. Alongwith this, we work with 1000+ colleges and schools addressing severe lifestyle and mental health issues, reaching out to more than 1 lakh plus students. Because how we treat our children now, determines the type of adult they will become in the future.
