From Home to Business: Payal’s Fashion Journey

In a quiet town in Gujarat, while the world outside rushed through deadlines and daily routines, Payal Patel was living a life full of responsibilities, but also full of dreams. A young mother with a small baby, Payal’s days were packed.

But in between all that, she held onto something close to her heart, her love for fashion designing. She’d always imagined doing something big with it, but like many women, she didn’t know how to start.

A Life-Changing Conversation in Ahmedabad

Everything shifted the day Payal attended an exhibition in Ahmedabad, where she met Ritvik and Priyanka from Skillinabox. It wasn’t just a casual interaction, it was the moment that opened the door to her future towards her fashion journey.

They listened to her story, her dreams, and her challenges. And instead of vague motivation, they gave her clear steps, from how Skillinabox’s course could help to exactly where she could source affordable materials from Surat, a major fashion hub just a few hours away.

Learning, Growing, and Earning during the fashion journey

Payal enrolled in the Fashion Designing course by Skillinabox, fitting her classes between baby naps and household work. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. As she started learning techniques, garment construction, and the business side of fashion, her confidence bloomed. So did her orders. 

Clients noticed her designs and professional finish. Today, even while still completing her course, Payal has already crossed ₹8 lakhs in earnings.

The Power of Support

Payal’s journey is a reminder that no dream is too big when you have the right people by your side. Her husband stood by her throughout the journey, cheering her on during the long nights and early mornings. But the fire? That was all her.

What She Wants You to Know

“You don’t need a big city, a big degree, or a lot of money to begin. You just need courage, the right support, and a little guidance. Skillinabox gave me that, and now I believe in myself more than ever.”
