Totally aware of the potential of the increasing demand of international design trends with world class quality standards in India, Sudha founded Swaas (the Sanskrit word for 'breath') in 2012, as a home enrichment brand to cater to the domestic market. Swaas runs retail stores and an online store (www.swaas.in), in India. The brand focuses on eco-friendly products, made by a strong workforce of women.

Keeping in mind the damage that the home textile industry routinely inflicts on our planet, the growing ecological consciousness amongst customers and her own personal commitment to the cause, Sudha incorporated Greenhome Furnishings in 2023, as a company that would focus on offering sustainable home textile solutions
