Mentor

Uzramma

She who needs no introduction has been most generous with her time and insight. Always. Uzramma’s words have been the very reason we embarked on this journey. We are most proud and privileged to have her mentor us.

Trustee

Chitra Vishwanath

An architect by profession, the ecological principles which guide her work find resonance in her role with Udaanta. She is our go-to for all things wise and wonderful.

Trustee

Ravi Kiran

Also known as 'metaphor racha’. The solid, on-the-ground knowledge and experience of several years he brings to Kandu is a natural extension of his work with local crafts-people like spinners, weavers, dyers, printers and tailors.

Trustee

Sushma Veerappa

A filmmaker who began seeking brown cotton for a film, and is currently Udaanta’s general dogsbody.
