Suresh was born in a traditional weaver's family, in their original village, Adhoi in Vagad. His grandfather and father weave. Traditionally, they wove the unstitched woollen garments for the Bharvad community. The range of fabrics included tangalio, a skirt decorated with knot patterns. This unique technique is called "dana," but has become known as tangalio after the skirt fabric. Dana is only made for Bharvads in eastern Kutch and Surendranagar District of Gujarat.

Today Bharvads no longer use their traditional dress. The family maintains two looms, on which they still weave dhabla blankets for Rabaris, but they are developing new products for the urban market, such as shawls, stoles and dupattas.

Suresh wove traditional fabrics for six years, but he saw little future in weaving because weavers weren't getting enough work. He left the craft to work in the Welspun factory in Anjar for two years. But he found little satisfaction in factory work and returned to try to revive weaving.

He came to KRV with the goal of making weaving a viable profession again.
