On the occasion of Mother's Day, we are talking about these mother-daughter duos doing business together for a long time in several parts of India.
Long gone are the days when one would scarcely find mothers and daughters running businesses together. However, with the changing times, nowadays, we often come across mother-daughter duos doing business, along with being the pillar of support for each other. Here's another effort to bring to light a few such businesses!
1. Ae Ri Sakhi
Hailing from Vadodara, Jayati Dave and her mother Hema Dave became entrepreneurs during the first wave of COVID-19 lockdown. Their idea is not only creative but also eco-friendly as the duo makes ethnic and modern jewellery out of waste materials like cardboard packaging material, and other waste fabric found at home!
2. Tharangini Studios
The Bengaluru-based brand, popular for creating organic hand block printed fabrics, is run by Lakshmi Srivathsa and her daughter Padmini Govind, who left her job in the US to run the business with her mother.
