Ramkhelawan Yadav
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
"Pehle hamare kapde sirf mele mein bikते the. Ab Mumbai, Bangalore, aur Delhi ke log seedha hamare gaon aate hain — ya phone karke order dete hain."
Before, our fabrics only sold at local fairs. Now buyers from Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi come directly to our village — or place orders by phone.
Ramkhelawan has woven Banarasi silk for 28 years, learning the craft from his father and grandfather. When VillageLink connected his cooperative to urban boutiques, his monthly income tripled within six months. Today he employs four other weavers from his village and ships custom orders across India.
Personal journeys and trade narratives — each one a thread in the VillageLink tapestry.
