It also covers knot and openwork stitches like phanda, murri, jaali and hool, printing the design with wooden blocks in a washable colour, and the washing, starching and gentle care that finish a chikan garment.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with anyone. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.
