Junebug is a platform supporting small businesses that work with local artisans; promoting folks that work with indigenous crafts, empower women-owned businesses and those that employ sustainable production and packaging practices” explains Shweta. Her partner adds: “This is an experiential pop-up. In addition to some fabulous boutique brands and businesses showcasing their wares we are also organizing a talk on Sustainable Living & Composting by eco-living champion Deepesh Bhaskar of Nilayaan.
