We are proud members of the weaving community from Vanavasi, a historic handloom cluster nestled in Salem District, Tamil Nadu — a village steeped in the art of silk weaving.
At 6DOT5 Ethnics, we are a Direct-to-Customer (D2C) platform connecting skilled weavers from our region directly to saree lovers around the world. This cluster is renowned for crafting some of the finest pure silk and soft silk sarees, known for their elegance and quality.
Weaving is more than a livelihood for us — it is a sacred heritage passed down through generations. For most families in and around Vanavasi, saree-making is a way of life, and every thread carries the legacy of our ancestors.
We pour heart, precision, and devotion into every saree we create, ensuring unmatched quality and timeless appeal. Sustainability is woven into every step — from the loom to eco-conscious packaging.
At 6DOT5, we don’t just sell sarees. We create a bond — a heartfelt connection between the hands that weave and the hearts that wear.
The Journey of Mr. Gopinath Gunasekaran
Choosing purpose over a high-paying tech career, Mr. Gopinath Gunasekaran made a bold return to his roots in Vanavasi — a legendary silk-weaving cluster in Tamil Nadu, home to generations of master artisans.
Leaving behind the corporate world, he stepped into his family's age-old weaving legacy — not merely as a business, but as a calling. With a deep sense of cultural responsibility, he set out to preserve and reimagine this timeless art for a new era.
His vision goes far beyond commerce. It’s about empowering the weaver community of Vanavasi — artisans who have long remained in the shadows of mainstream markets. By blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design thinking, ethical sourcing, and community-driven development, he is crafting a platform where heritage is honoured and livelihoods are uplifted.
Through his work, rural artisans are gaining visibility, financial independence, and renewed pride. By ensuring fair market access and creating consistent livelihood opportunities, he is building a sustainable ecosystem — where the soul of silk weaving not only survives, but thrives.
