Pune, India July 06: Estrange Aurora recently hosted an impactful and thought-provoking interactive session with Sumita Ghose, Founder of “Rangsutra” (https://reference-url-citation.invalid/2), one of India’s most respected artisan-led social enterprises & a board member of charkha.org.
Sumita Ghose is widely recognized as an “employer of many employers” in India’s social entrepreneurship ecosystem. Through “Rangsutra”
Rangsutra is empowering over 2,000+ family hierarchy of artisans across India—predominantly women—by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities while preserving India’s rich craft heritage. The organization stands as a powerful example of how business growth, technology use for environment preservation with social impact can coexist beautifully.
The session featured an interesting interview panel comprising Jyoti More, Shruti Joshi, and Dr. (HC) Prachetan Potadar, each bringing unique perspectives that elevated the conversation into a multidimensional dialogue on leadership, values, and transformation.
Sumita Ghosh insights deeply resonated with the audience, reinforcing the urgent need to “preserve” traditional knowledge systems in a rapidly evolving world not in museum but by reaching every house in India to provide more work to people and business growth of rangsutra.
In a world where rapid growth is often viewed as the ultimate marker of success, Sumita Ghose offered a nuanced perspective.
Scale becomes meaningful only when it strengthens impact without diluting trust, authenticity, and human connection.
Sumita shared that empowerment is not an event or destination—it is a gradual journey rooted in ownership, self-belief, and meaningful choices.
One of the strongest insights emerged when Sumita expressed views on the loss of traditional craft & emphasized that when a craft disappears, society loses far more than economic opportunity—it loses cultural memory, inherited wisdom, stories, and community identity built over generations.
Her words reinforced a powerful truth:
“Craft is civilization in motion”.
On growth and scale, she said
Scale matters only when it strengthens impact without compromising trust, authenticity, and human connection.
Growth without values builds numbers indeed Growth with values builds legacy or a long term impact.
A thought-provoking segment focused on dignity-led leadership and ethical business models leads a win win situation for employee and employer both as partners.
She highlighted meaningful leadership begins when everyone is putting their for the growth of a company being a stakeholders, contributors, or equal participants.
She shared that technology will continue to evolve, but empathy, emotional intelligence, and human sensitivity must remain at the center of progress.
Sumita shared the use of technology for the betterment of environment & human.
She added that universe support you when you are ready despite of resources
