This statement by Dr. Mythili Arumugam, founder of our production partner Vishwaa Apparels, is more than just an ideal—it is the result of hard work. As a first-generation entrepreneur in Southern India, she knows that true self-determination requires a solid economic foundation.

Change through Responsibility
At her factory in Chittoor, Mythili employs around 1,300 people, over 80% of whom are women. For many, a job at Vishwaa Apparels is the first step toward financial independence. Mythili’s approach is built on performance and discipline: those who work here take on responsibility—for the quality of our garments, but above all, for their own lives. "We see how women improve the education and health of their families through their income," she explains.

A Symbol of Security
A unique detail of her leadership: in addition to their wages, Mythili provides her employees with gold coins every year. While this may sound unusual, gold holds deep significance in India as a stable investment, offering women a discreet and personal form of financial security. "I want my women to have something that belongs to them alone," says Mythili.
It is this pragmatic path—taken step by step and with a focus on local reality—through which Mythili creates opportunities for women.

Award-winning Excellence
In December 2025, Vishwaa Apparels was honoured by the AEPC (Apparel Export Promotion Council) as one of India's leading women-led export companies in the textile industry (Silver Category).
