Kunal Joshi
Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

- 1985 to 2021
- English
I've worked in shoemaking from 1985 to 2021. I learned from my mother and passed what I could on to 1,190 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I carry a notebook everywhere.
More about Kunal
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
