Married and relocated to Hyderabad at a tender age of 18, Madhukanta Bhatt focused on handling the house and bringing up her children. She had always wanted to take up sewing, but buying a machine was too expensive at that time. She saved up money from her household expenses, bought herself a machine. However, she was not able to afford formal training on sewing. She then learnt the art of sewing, cutting and designing her clothes through observation.

She wanted to reduce textile waste and the use of plastic from Earth. So, she sourced her fabric from tailors and started making cloth bags and other eco-friendly products that she distributed to people for free. So far, she has distributed 35,000 bags all across Hyderabad and wishes to continue making more items. At the age of 93, she doesn’t want to retire.
