Abdulla studied to 5th standard in Bhuj, and then shifted to Himmatnagar for 6th and 7th standards. He left studies in 2003 and returned to Bhuj. Soon, inspired by their father and the good remuneration in bandhani, Abdulla and his twin brother decided to revive their traditional Bandhani skills. Abdulla started learning Bandhani from Gulambhai, a relative known for his bandhani work, and a KRV advisor. He worked on cotton, while his brother chose to work with silk. He has no experience of workshops or marketing so far.Abdulla likes old bandhani designs. He believes that a good bandhani artisan should produce good quality. He should understand colour and be expert in dyeing. A good artisan should also have some exposure to the market.

Abdulla feels that the art of dyeing is in his blood, though he and his brothers could not take full benefit of it so far. He believes that the future of craft is good. Kutchi bandhani is famous and its demand is increasing. Although competition is also increasing, he says that if you are prepared to work hard, bandhani work is full of opportunity. “We need to innovate in order to satisfy market needs,” he states.
