Shravan Kummar took a drop from Medical college and became a fashion vintage sari designer.
he took a bold decision to stop attending medical college and instead start a career in fashion with just two tailors and a master.
"At least 26 days go in preparing the design and 60 to 90 days to complete a single sari. It takes four weavers to make a single sari," he shares. "The saris are not mass produced. We don't even go for a limited edition, but just one sari per era."

He has 100 designers interning with him at any given time of the year and is working with 800 weavers from around the country, constantly innovating and improvising on his weaves.
Actors Anushka Shetty, Nandita Das, Shabana Azmi, Nayantara and Huma Qureshi are his regular clients as are the families of superstars Kamal Haasan, Rajnikanth, Mammootty and Chiranjeevi.
