From a textile business family in Yeola, Very Much Indian’s founder, Slony, gained early exposure to business acumen. After a 10-year corporate career, she followed her true ambition, starting with 15 sarees on loan. Initially, her father didn’t like her idea of leaving a financially stable job to set up her business, but with support from her husband, she went ahead to make her dream come true - thus, Very Much Indian was born.

Overcoming initial objections, with support from her husband, she launched Very Much Indian, a brand reviving heritage sarees, particularly Paithani, in pure silk and cotton. Today, their commitment to handloom empowers over 800 weavers across India.
