His journey as an entrepreneur was filled with challenges. But he overcame all of them, and now has 80 looms running under his supervision. He feels that the youth are ready to capitalise on the ample opportunities in the textile market, but would like institutional support from the government to grow the business.

A resident of Santipur district in West Bengal, Subir Biswas is a young craftsman who creates Jamdani-print fabrics. He belongs to a family of traditional textile artisans. After having received training from an NGO, he returned to his village, Neelkuthi, as an entrepreneur. He revived handloom weaving in his family and began producing products in demand in larger markets beyond his locality. By reintroducing cotton and khadi as fabrics among artisans who had been working only with polyester, he helped produce organic textiles.
