It’s not uncommon to feel like we aren’t doing enough for our society, in a country like India, there is a constant need to capacitate, invest and warrant causes that need a louder voice, one in particular caught founder Gayatri Jolly’s eye and once she saw it, there was no looking back. Welcome, MasterG, a forum that works tirelessly to skill women to foray into the artisanal territory of making garments. Each woman who walks in strides out with a skill and shield to make a definitive change. 

After graduating from Parsons, New York, and working with the big wigs of the industry like Armani, Diane Von Furstenburg, Jolly gained experience in design and management in the fashion industry. Once she was back, the disparity in the workforce between men and women was evident and glaring and she knew she had to do something about it. That led to the birth of MasterG, wherein she designed the ‘Breaking Patterns Pedagogy’ to make it an ideological tool to inspire systemic and generational changes. She is driven to democratize the power of making patterns and provide affordable training to individuals who aspire to, but lack the access to tools to realise their fullest potential.
