But this story is not about how to make crochet items. It is a story about an 89-year-old Padma Parikh becoming an Entrepreneur by creating crocheted items. Today, her products have found customers not only in India but in many other countries like Australia, Netherlands and Korea. Let’s learn more about her and how she turned her passion into a business.
THE HABIT OF KEEPING HERSELF ENGAGED
The 89-year-old Padma Parikh, known as the crochet ‘Nani,’ doesn’t like sitting idle. She has been fond of making handicrafts since childhood. Padma used to give these handmade products as gifts to her family members on every occasion. She would devote four to five hours a day to create the crocheted items.
Bansari and Heer Shah, her granddaughters, recall, “We would eagerly wait for her on our birthdays as we would receive beautiful crocheted purses and blankets as gifts from her.”
