Vayan: Weaving Stories Through Silk The word Vayan embodies the art of weaving — bunai. At Vayan, our purpose goes beyond offering premium-quality silk, especially Tussar Silk. We aim to share the rich stories intricately woven into the fabric by skilled artisans. Each saree, suit, and dupatta carries not just a design, but a tradition. Our journey began in 2016 when Mrs. Harshita Jindal, after her marriage, chose to settle in Chhattisgarh. Surrounded by the raw beauty of local craftsmanship in Champa, she found the perfect place to shape her vision. Watching artisans work their magic with silk, Harshita was inspired to contribute her own. Silk has always held a timeless charm, but few truly know its diversity. Among the many varieties, Chhattisgarhi Tussar Silk stands out — yet remains underappreciated. Woven on local handlooms, Tussar Silk from Chhattisgarh deserves the spotlight, and Vayan was born to make that happen. A postgraduate in International Business, Harshita dives deep into every design, engaging directly with weavers to understand the stories behind their creations. Her vision is to cultivate global appreciation for Tussar Silk while uplifting the weaving culture of Chhattisgarh. In this journey, Mrs. Vartika Baranwal Rajgaria, co-founder of Vayan and Harshita’s sister, plays a pivotal role. A postgraduate in Marketing and Sales — and an artist at heart — Vartika has been instrumental in building Vayan’s digital identity. Her keen eye for design, color, and texture bridges the gap between tradition and contemporary style. She ensures the artisans’ creations are not only preserved but also celebrated in modern wardrobes through the lens of sustainable fashion. As our community of customers grew, so did their love for Indian handwoven textiles. Being rooted in Bhadohi, near Varanasi — a region famed for its luxurious Banarasi weaves — it felt only natural to expand our collection. Responding to our customers’ demand and drawing from our own heritage, we’ve proudly added Banarasi Silk sarees and suits to the Vayan curation. Each Banarasi piece we offer is selected for its elegance, craftsmanship, and the timeless legacy it represents — complementing our commitment to authentic, artisanal textiles. Together, the Vayan sisters blend artistry and business insight. Their shared experiences in their family business laid a strong foundation — Harshita mastering the manufacturing side, and Vartika bringing branding, marketing, and innovation to the forefront. At Vayan, customer experience is as important as craft. It’s not just about selling silk — it’s about weaving connections, preserving heritage, and creating unity through diversity. The artisans are our biggest asset, and their art is our greatest pride. Starting something meaningful rarely begins in plush offices or boardrooms. It takes courage, resilience, and a clear vision. That’s what the Vayan sisters embody. They’re not just building a brand — they’re nurturing a legacy with you and the talented weavers of India.
