The Climapreneur Show

“Some dreams are far-fetched but if you really go far with your efforts then you can definitely fetch them and turn into reality,” says the co-founder of P-Tal.in, Aditya Agrarwal. P-Tal is a start-up by Aditya Agrawal with his co-founder Kirti Goel and Gaurav Garg, that aims at reviving the dying craft form of the indigenous Thathera community of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar, who have the distinction of practising India’s only UNESCO listed craftform.
