Bijoy Laxmi of Patna has a made a name in manufacturing premium and super premium garments for women and children in a short period of two years. And now she's looking for people with required skills for expanding the production capacity of her unit which presently supplies super premium garments to several well known outlets in Delhi.

"I use Bihar-made fabrics and extensively use kasidakari, sujani and khatawa forms of local art for designing the products. All those skilled in these art forms now need not go outside as my company is willing to pay them good salary here in Patna," Laxmi told TOI on Wednesday.

Having started her unit about two years back with a small capital of Rs 10 lakh, Laxmi's company today has a turnover of about Rs 1 crore.

She convened a dealers' meet here recently to launch her products in Bihar and Jharkhand markets.

"Most of the dealers were pleasantly surprised as till now all of them have to depend on supply from Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai markets for ladies and kids garments," Laxmi, an MBA from BHU, said adding that she received very positive response from local dealers.

Laxmi feels that but for the support extended by her husband and in-laws, she would not have been able to achieve the success in the venture.
