Jim Prigoff

“In addition to working directly with each customer on design and concept, she [Sudha] goes to India four times each year to be sure there is total product follow through. Working with the master crafts people, often found in remote villages and locations, she is able to supply product of remarkable quality and craftsmanship. Perhaps, best of all, in a pipeline filled with endless delivery problems and monotonous designs, she has a remarkable record of on time delivery with unique product offering. Her staff in Delhi is on top of each order on a daily basis. I highly recommend Sudha’s House of Pennathur as a profitable and reliable company to do business with.”

-Jim Prigoff, Past President of the Womenswear Division at Levi Strauss & Co.

Alan Nazareth

“Sudha Pennathur is the most outstanding, innovative and dynamic woman entrepreneur that I know. I first met her when I was Consul General of India in New York during the 1986 -89 period, when she came to invite to a show of her traditional Indian jewellery and gift items at the Saks Department Store on Fifth Avenue. Since then I have seen her steady progress to great heights in this highly competitive field. She has made a great contribution to the promotion and marketing of high quality traditional Indian jewellery and gift items in the US. India, particularly its artisans in Rajasthan and Tamilnadu, are deeply grateful and highly appreciative of this; so are the Indian NGOs which she has been generously supporting.”

-Alan Nazareth served in India’s diplomatic and consular missions in Tokyo, Rangoon, Lima, London, Chicago and New York and as India’s High Commissioner to Ghana and Ambassador to Liberia, Upper Volta, Togo, Egypt, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador & Belize.

-Richard Marcus, Former Chairman and CEO of Neiman Marcus
