In this episode of YM, I talk to Wamika Shekhawat, the co-founder of Aulive- a brand that offers leather alternative options like faux leather & different types of plant leather, to conscious consumers. They are continuously striving to create a positive impact in the fashion industry by promoting vegan fashion and providing products that are healthy for the environment.

Wamika and I talk about what impacted her perception towards authentic leather products and how she came across the idea to start Aulive. After discussing her journey in detail, we move forward and understand the company and all that it has to offer.

\\n

We then talk about the initial response, the challenges that they\\u2019ve faced over the years & and also how hard the pandemic hit them. After talking about the ups and downs faced by the company, Wamika takes up the role of a storyteller and tells us about the process of a handbag being made at Aulive.

\\n

We further discuss the pros and cons of being a part of the sustainable industry, a very interesting story about how the company name was coined and lastly, we talk about Wamika\\u2019s vision for Aulive.
