MySilkLove has also believed hard to achieve highest levels of customer satisfaction through timely deliveries, enhanced quality and contemporary touch to ancient clothing saree. With a vision is to become India’s one stop destination for ethnic shopping providing highest quality products from the different parts of India. MySilkLove has become a synonym to online saree shopping, delivering across any part of the world.
Priyanka Ghule Katkar, Founder, MySilkLove has prior experience working with logistics startup XpressBees before starting MySilkLove, that has helped her figure out entire e-commerce operations and we were operational with 50 weavers within 1 month of launch. Her husband Mr. Vinayak Katkar runs a digital marketing company, and who helped her further to get the marketing function right.
During Priyanka’s visit to Tamilnadu where Kanjivaram sarees are made, she was impressed with the quality and finish of the products and effort these weavers have to take to make a single saree. When I spoke to them I got an idea about their earnings and it was not great for anyone for the effort and skill they possessed. They were spending almost 10 days making a single saree and in return would get a paltry sum. Considering these gaps, I thought of starting a platform to connect India’s artisans. Saree weavers can get the opportunity to showcase their art, they are not bothered about anything but crafting good quality products. Rest everything is taken care of by our team right from photo-shoots, merchandising, picking the product to delivering it to the end customer.
According to Priyanka Ghule Katkar, Founder, MySilkLove,“I started the business in 2020 with a capital of Rs. 1,00,000/- with my personal savings, and Today we’ve more than 2000 weavers associated from different parts of India and we’re selling 1500 plus products per month. Since then we have been growing 15% month on month since inception. We are looking to close this financial year at Rs.6 Cr. Today we work with more than 1000 weavers from Banaras (Uttar Pradesh), Bagalkot (Karnataka), Yeola (Maharashtra), and Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu) and source the best silk sarees,”
Recently we have launched traditional Salwar Suits, Lehengas, customized blouse stitching. They are also planning to offer more options on women's wear, like Kurtis, stoles and other designer clothing to become a one-stop destination for all ethnic women's clothing needs.
Best-selling products on their websites are Kanjivarams (60%), Banarasis (20%) and the remaining 20% are Paithani, Patola.
