More about me

I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Environmental Anthropology at University College London (UCL), where I’m exploring how ideas of “development” are lived, remembered, and reimagined—especially by communities shaped by migration, memory, and ecological change.

 

Before this, I spent over 13 years working across ethical design, craft revival, and cultural education—building a practice rooted in sustainability, storytelling, and systems thinking. I collaborated with artisan communities, academic institutions, government programs, and NGOs across India and Europe.

 

But beneath the professional path lies a personal one. My family once ran cotton ginning mills in Punjab—until the legacy of Partition and the Green Revolution unraveled both livelihoods and land. That history seeded a lifelong inquiry into what it means to belong, to rebuild, and to heal.

 

My work today—whether in research, teaching, or consulting—grows from that space. A desire to connect the seen and unseen, the material and the meaningful. I’m especially drawn to futures that are not just sustainable, but also sane, equitable, and culturally alive.

Testimonials

1615418144_11laila.jpg

"I’ve know Sidhant Minocha since 2015. He was a delight to mentor - talented, enthusiastic, receptive and deeply motivated looking at fashion and design as a means of conveying his concern for the environment, sustainability, natural materials, and a fair and equitable society; going beyond aesthetics, ornamentation and trends, while sensitively reflected these in his collections.
 
His creative vision has always incorporated these multiple strands, and he is also drawn to melding Indian textile processes into his designs, travelling all over India  in search of weavers and crafts people to work with. Contemporising, challenging and innovating, while remaining true to the USP of each technique and tradition. 
 
His oeuvre is constantly evolving; I wish him well and look forward to seeing what comes next."

Laila Tyabji,
Chairperson & Founder Member, DASTKAR Society for Crafts & Craftspeople.

Journey So Far

My work has always been about more than just craft or design—it’s been an exploration of culture, care, and systems. From launching ethical fashion lines to facilitating craft training and consulting across geographies, I’ve sought to honour traditional knowledge while rethinking how we create and consume.

 

Through Sedhantik and other initiatives, I’ve worked closely with artisan communities, NGOs, government bodies, and academic institutions. These collaborations helped me realize that what excites me most is not retail or operations—but the thinking, storytelling, and systems behind it all.

 

That realization led me to education, advisory roles, and eventually to deeper research. As I now expand my lens through anthropology and sustainability studies, this portfolio reflects where I’ve been—and hints at where I’m going.
