Today, on Voices For Local, founder of Khara Kapas Shilpi Yadav shares with us how she built a brand that embodies comfort, style, sustainability, all woven together in pure cotton. Shilpi talks about how she designed her own wedding outfit in cotton, how she feels being a working mom positively impacts her son, and managing crisis situations as a woman in a male-dominated industry.
