CraftHER LiA 2025 Impact Report

CraftHER began as an idea — that leadership can be learned beside craftswomen, in workshops and shared meals, through listening and taking meaningful action. Today, as we share our first Impact Report, we celebrate the scholars, partners, and communities who made this journey meaningful.

Asha Scaria Vettoor

Founder, Swara Leadership In Action Program

Hi everyone! I run the CraftHER Leadership-in-action program by @Swara - Voice of Women. Here's our IG: www.instagram.com/craftherbyswara/

I’m Asha Scaria Vettoor, an entrepreneur and Laidlaw Scholar from the University of Oxford. I run Swara, a social enterprise based in India that creates income opportunities for women through ethical fashion and storytelling. We also host CraftHER, a 6-week Leadership-in-Action program that brings Laidlaw scholars from around the world to Kerala to learn from women-led enterprises, grassroots organisations, and artisan communities.

I’m passionate about building bridges between global learners and local changemakers in my community and always up for a conversation on social entrepreneurship, ethical supply chains, or running programs in remote parts of India.
