Initiatives Know More
Central Saint Martin Scholarship

We are proud to announce our collaboration with CSM London where each year, we provide one student with outstanding talent and vision an embroidery scholarship for their final showcase collection.

We believe it is our responsibility to hone talented individuals of the future and so we assist the student with the entire process of development of the embroideries. To maximise the learning process, we also offer an all-expense paid trip to India to witness first-hand the genesis of their vision through our processes and to develop an intricate understanding of the makings of products.

Teach Empower Employ – Embroidery School for women

A grassroot initiative to empower women, TEE is a Mumbai based embroidery training program aimed at changing the male dominance of the hand embroidery industry in India.

The program is offered exclusively to necessitous under-privileged women where we introduce them to the different embroidery skills and techniques currently required to be employed in the luxury fashion segment.

Femdp Beading not only trains but also employs these women once their training is completed to actually ensure financial independence and freedom.

Founder and chairman

Ethical behavior and a steady, movement forward towards sustainability is at the heart of the way Femdp beading and embroideries Pvt ltd conducts its business. Our ability to demonstrate our everyday commitment to responsible business management creates the trust without which no business is sustainable.

Since the formation of the Pvt Ltd Company in 2004 great progress has been made in continually reinforcing our mind set which is bent completely towards ethical trade and practices.

The ethical code of conduct signed by every employee and our associates and the plan to move towards sustainability demonstrates our determination to make ethics and sustainability the corner stone of our business activities.

The formation and efficient functioning of several policies and committees as well as being one of the founder members of the UTTHAN program which was conceived and implemented by luxury brands like the KERING group, LVMH group, BURBERRY and some of the leading exporters of Mumbai to empower the embroidery karigars and bring respect and value to their craft testify to our determination and the seriousness of our approach.

Our approach and steady progress towards rain water harvesting, recycling of our raw material waste, reduction of use of plastic as well as investing and installation of solar power only points towards our concern as well as our commitment towards environmental challenges facing our planet.

I would love to see every one of us adopt a similar code of ethics when performing our daily tasks whether at work or in our private lives

Desire to enforce an ethical framework will ensure sustainable growth
