Stitching Dreams Into the Sky | Shravan Kummar | TEDxPORPS Youth

In this heartfelt and culturally rich talk, fashion designer and textile revivalist Shravan Kumar reimagines the theme “The Sky is Pink” as an invitation to look beyond the expected to see possibility where others see limits. Blending personal memories, his journey from medical aspirant to celebrated designer, and lessons from India’s vibrant handloom tradition, he highlights how imagination, courage, and cultural consciousness can reshape the world around us. Shravan shares stories of weavers, artisans, and his own childhood in Hyderabad showing that fashion is not just fabric, but connection, identity, and a living bridge between past and future. He urges young dreamers to choose the harder path, think deeply about what they truly want, and look up at the sky as a mirror for their ambitions. His message is simple yet powerful: when we dare to re-imagine, when we honour our roots, and when we act with conscience, the sky doesn’t stay blue we paint it pink. Well-known for his handloom ensembles, vintage-inspired embroideries and research driven designs, the famous designer, Shravan Kummar is known for his extravagance in the fashion industry. Apart from his clothing, he has expanded the company’s horizons into accessories, jewellery inspired from bygone era and event management. He is one of the Indian fashion designers to be selected as a NIXON DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER to Cornell University in New York where he had presented about our Indian Handlooms and textiles. He is one of the designers who had been working with and supporting many weaver's communities across India. He has been awarded 'The certificate of Excellence' from "Council for industrial & Trade Development India" addressing his brand, Shravan Studio for expertise in transferring the true essence of Indian tradition and creating new trends and designs in garments.
