Threads of Hope, Colors of Change

Urmila Dodiya
Founder
Since 1990, I’ve been running classes from my home in Mahuva.
During a local survey conducted by the Pidilite office, my name came up at the top. As a result, I received a job offer from an NGO. Once I joined, I came to understand a deeper truth that it is essential for women to become financially independent, even while staying at home. This is how they can achieve holistic development and gather their own small joys in life.
Through the NGO, I came to truly see how women in even worse-than-basic conditions live economically and socially. This realization sparked a fire within me. I felt that while educated girls will find their way to learning, something must be done for those who never had the chance to study, who are already tied to family responsibilities.
I wanted to bring them both self-confidence and a sense of fulfillment so that they could experience the happiness of earning something of their own.
To bring this vision to life, my daughter Meghal joined me. Together, surrounded by colors, we began this journey.
Our History
Meghal Dodiya
Co-Founder
Meghal is an artist whose work speaks in bold strokes and vibrant colors a signature style that sets her apart. A graduate of M.S. University, Baroda, her creative foundation is rooted in one of India’s most respected fine arts institutions. Nature has always been her muse, and its textures, moods, and quiet poetry echo through her canvases.
But Meghal is more than just an artist. She’s a builder of ideas, of community, of purpose. As a budding entrepreneur, she blends creativity with commitment, putting her heart into everything she takes on. Her vision goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about empowerment.
Driven by a deep love for art and a powerful desire to give back, Meghal founded Rang Artisans, a social-creative platform that not only celebrates handmade beauty but also uplifts the hands behind it. Through Rang, she collaborates with women from underrepresented backgrounds, offering them both livelihood and dignity.
In Meghal’s world, art is not just expression, it’s transformation. For herself. For the women she mentors. And for the stories waiting to be told, in color and courage.

Rang Artisanry
Crafting Confidence. Creating Change
At Rang Artisanry, we believe that every woman deserves more than survival — she deserves the chance to thrive. Especially the women often left in the background: homemakers, caregivers, quiet anchors of our homes.
We don’t offer charity. We offer craft. Skill. Dignity.
Through hands-on workshops in tailoring, painting, embroidery, and design, we help women turn their time and talent into income, and their creativity into confidence. Here, learning a skill means unlocking independence. And every handmade piece is a small step toward a stronger voice, a fuller life.
This is where housewives become artisans. Where forgotten dreams find new life.
