In weaving of Silk Sarees in Pochampally tradition, the silk thread has
to be spread on a pattern for subsequent drawing of designs and
thereafter for tyeing and dyeing. The process of asu is conventionally
done manually. To do this the ladies of weaver families take almost 4
laborious hours for one saree. In a day a lady could only do for two
sarees which takes away ten hours of day light and a severe pain in the
shoulder as she had to take the thread around studs for 9000 times over a
length of one meter. Mallesham was concerned about his mother’s pain.
He was determined to find a solution. He thought of automating the asu
process. Though it took 3years to develop the device, it mitigated lot
of pain. Many ridiculed him, laughted at him. He was determined and
worked as a daily wage earner in Hyderabad to earn money for developing
his idea. He redesigned the machine with electronic subassemblies but
maintained the same price for the last five years. Mallesham sold almost
300 machines so far, and the demand is for almost 10000 more.
