We are experienced
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
— Jane Goodall
The word “Samakhya” means a “collective”. We are a collective of non-conformists who do not shy away from making an effort for the world we want to live in. We are a team of development practitioners, textile designers, artisans, masons, weavers, marketeers and scientists, who want to solve socio-economic, cultural and climate problems through alternative thinking. Our off-the-centre thinking stems from our rural roots, which enable us to see the inter-connectedness of the world around us.
Samakhya’s work is driven by collaborations between sustainability practitioners and rural desert communities to revive traditional pastoral and artisanal knowledge to innovate solutions for modern-day sustainability problems.

This collaboration organizes a nomadic value chain, enabling the significant harnessing of regenerative pastoral fibers for a unique line of sustainable thermal and acoustic solutions tailored for the built industry.
