Can you imagine something like this? A talented macrame artist not knowing what macrame is all about, and yet succeeding in making it her professional calling card. Yes! This is the story of ECLECTIC MACRAME an enterprise founded by Akanksha.
Prior to her foray into entrepreneurship, Akanksha had carved a successful career in the HR field, amassing eight years of invaluable experience. Relocating to Bangalore in 2016 marked a pivotal chapter in her professional journey, where she dedicated four years to her work before finding herself at a crossroads amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic.
While juggling with her work responsibilities at work, her heart yearned for creative expression. It was then that she stumbled upon the captivating world of macramé, unaware of its name at the outset. Driven by a relentless passion for creativity, as a self-taught artist, Akanksha immersed herself in DIY videos, honing her skills through trial and error.
Despite the challenges, over the course of time Akansha achieved remarkable milestones, transforming ECLECTIC MACRAME into a much sought after destination for a range of truly amazing hand crafted macrame products.
