    Anup Chippa

    Production Director

    Anup Chhipa, the Production Director at Studio Bagru, brings a legacy of block printing that spans five generations.

     

    Anup's journey with Studio Bagru began in 2016, but Anup's connection with this art form began at a much earlier age. Anup began printing at the age of 16 when he started printing alongside his father.

     

    Renowned as a color master, Anup possesses a remarkable skill—he can precisely match colors within a margin of just two Pantone shades. His expertise extends beyond the palette as he oversees production management and manages the retail operations in Bagru.

     

    In addition to his pivotal role, Anup actively engages with printing workshops, imparting the importance of supporting handmade craftsmanship to guests. He embodies the essence of Studio Bagru, preserving tradition, and promoting the beauty of handcrafted textiles.

     

    Anup Chhipa's dedication to the art of block printing and his commitment to sharing its significance make him an invaluable asset to the Studio Bagru family.
