Rishabh Sharma turned his mother's sari into a shirt and strangers asked where to get one — he and Ajinkya Kulkarni on building The Dori. Free at Esplanade.
In 2025, Rishabh Sharma made a shirt out of one of his mother's saris and posted a video of it. People he had never met messaged him asking where they could get one. That is the origin story of The Dori, which turns used saris into shirts people actually wear — and Sharma and Ajinkya Kulkarni are at Esplanade to talk through it, including what they learnt as new entrepreneurs.
The conversation runs Sat 21 Nov 2026, 5pm to 6pm, at the Esplanade Black Room on 1 Esplanade Drive, in English, and admission is free. It is open to ages 6 and above, so an hour of craft and small-business shop talk can be a family outing or a solo drop-in before dinner nearby.
