Fuelled by a passion for design, Mamta Mangsinka took a non-descript garage in Indore (M.P.); a single printing table and one karigaar (printer) and unwittingly created Kilol. By printing on Maheshwari saris in a way no-one had, Kilol developed a unique signature style of combining hand-woven borders with hand block printed designs.
The impact of this fusion survives even today and thanks to this initiative, the hand block printed sari has a greater market than its original version.
Since then the company has moved from strength to strength. Today, the presence of Kilol spreads through12 retail outlets across the country. There is a wholesale department servicing individual outlets and an export department shipping Kilol worldwide.
