OUR STORY · OUR HERITAGE

From My Father's Legacy To My Own Purpose

A Family Heritage. A Personal Journey. A Trusted Name in Hand Block Printing.

The story of Pushpendra Doraya, Founder & Director of Sakshi International Pvt. Ltd., is rooted in the traditions of Sanganer, Jaipur, and shaped by a commitment to craftsmanship, professional values and long-term relationships.

The craftsmanship and values passed down by Late Shri Madan Doraya continue to inspire my journey.

WHERE MY STORY BEGAN

My Father's Legacy

My roots are in Sanganer, Jaipur, a place known for its rich textile traditions, skilled artisans and generations of craftsmanship. Growing up in this environment gave me an early appreciation for the patience, precision and dedication required to create something by hand.

My father, Late Shri Madan Doraya, began his journey in Jaipur Blue Pottery in 1978. He was an accomplished craftsperson who devoted himself to learning and developing his skills. In time, he also developed deep expertise in hand block printing and established a separate business and factory dedicated to this craft.

Through his work, my father taught me that craftsmanship is about much more than the finished product. It represents knowledge passed between generations, respect for skilled hands, attention to detail and the determination to preserve something valuable.

His values of dedication, patience, integrity and pride in one's craft became an important part of my own approach to business. His legacy gave me my first connection to craftsmanship; building my own business gave me the opportunity to carry those values forward in my own way.

FINDING MY OWN PATH

From Finance to Entrepreneurship

My education and early professional experience introduced me to finance, analysis and business. In 2006, I completed my MS (Finance) from ICFAI University. I later earned the CFA charter, further strengthening my understanding of financial discipline, business decisions and long-term value creation.

My background in finance taught me the importance of planning, accountability and looking beyond immediate results. At the same time, I remained connected to the craft I had grown up around.

In 2009, I started my own venture in hand block printing. This was an important step in my life: moving from an appreciation of my family's craft heritage to building an independent business around a skill I deeply respected.

The journey taught me that building a business is not only about creating products. It is also about developing reliable processes, earning trust and maintaining a clear sense of purpose.

A Name Built on Trust

In 2015, I founded Sakshi International Pvt. Ltd. with a clear focus on hand block printing and a commitment to combining traditional craftsmanship with professional business practices.

My vision was to build a business that respected the skill of artisans while meeting customer expectations through quality, consistency, communication and reliability.

Over the years, Sakshi International has established its own identity in hand block printing. The respect and trust we have earned among our customers reflect the confidence they place in our work and our commitment to responsible business relationships.

My background in finance continues to shape my approach to business decisions and planning. My connection to craftsmanship reminds me that product quality begins with the people, skills and care behind it.

THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES THAT SHAPED ME

Family, Resilience and Responsibility

In 2011, I married Neha, and in 2014, we welcomed our son, Lohitaksha, into our lives. Becoming a husband and father gave me a deeper sense of responsibility and strengthened my commitment to building a meaningful future for my family.

In 2017, I lost my father, Late Shri Madan Doraya, whose dedication to craftsmanship had deeply influenced my journey. In 2020, I lost my mother, Late Smt. Bhagwati Devi. Losing both my parents within a few years was one of the most difficult periods of my life.

During this time, I had to navigate personal loss while continuing to fulfil my family responsibilities and manage my business.

My younger brother, Devendra Doraya, stood by me through these challenging years, supporting me in both my personal life and my business. His support helped me continue moving forward and reminded me of the importance of family unity and standing together through adversity.

These experiences strengthened my determination to carry forward the values my parents instilled in me, honour the support of my family and continue building Sakshi International with commitment and purpose.

CONNECTING CRAFT WITH THE WORLD

A Connection That Travels Beyond Borders

Hand block printing carries the character of the artisans who create it and the heritage of the place from which it comes. Through exports, these products reach customers beyond India, connecting traditional Indian craftsmanship with international markets.

At Sakshi International, we understand the importance of building international business relationships on trust, clear communication, consistent quality and mutual respect.

Our export business gives us the opportunity to bring hand block printed products to international customers while maintaining a strong connection to the craft and its origins.

As Sakshi International continues its journey, our focus remains on strengthening customer relationships, serving our international business partners responsibly and upholding the craftsmanship at the heart of our work.

LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD

Building a Legacy That Continues

When I look back at my journey, I see the influence of my father's craftsmanship, the foundation provided by my education, the decision to start my own venture in 2009 and the establishment of Sakshi International in 2015.

My father's legacy introduced me to the values of craftsmanship. My own journey has been about building on those values through an independent business focused on hand block printing.

As I look to the future, my commitment remains clear: to work with integrity, respect the artisans, value our customers and continue building Sakshi International with a long-term vision.

True craftsmanship is not only about what we create. It is also about the values we uphold, the trust we earn and the future we build through our work.
