I made my first loom when I was in school

I made my first loom when I was in school.
It was a project but it turned out to be a memory that stayed.

Growing up, our home was right above the office at S.N. Kapoor Exports.

Evenings meant running around the factory floor, playing cricket with staff, watching yarn being dyed and looms being set.

So when it came time to make a school project, I didn’t think twice — I wanted to make a miniature handloom.

One of our oldest employees, Iqbal ji, who has been with our family since my father was a child, helped me build it.

He’s still with us – the loom master, the same calm presence.

That little loom won me the school competition.

Even today, that miniature loom sits in my office.

A small reminder that big legacies often begin with small, handmade things.
