Hi, I’m Harshwardhan Dhakate, a Fashion Technology graduate from NIFT with a strong interest in product development, textiles, and the luxury industry. My work combines technical expertise with business thinking, helping bridge manufacturing excellence and premium product creation. Beyond product development, I actively research India’s handloom ecosystem and document the stories of artisan communities to understand how traditional craftsmanship can coexist with modern innovation. I enjoy exploring process improvement, sustainable manufacturing, and the future of luxury fashion. I’m always happy to connect with students, professionals, and founders to discuss careers in textiles, product development, luxury management, and the fashion industry. Whether you’re looking for guidance, collaboration, or an insightful conversation, I’d love to connect.
