Four days before the national lockdown, Nanki Maggo Papneja was in Mumbai. She returned to her home in Gurugram, and got in touch with Kasturba Gandhi Hospital, one of Mumbai's primary COVID-19 testing and isolation facilities.

Papneja and husband Abirr run Limerick, a five-year-old homegrown label that celebrates nature-inspired prints and handicrafts. Abirr also operates another firm in Himachal Pradesh focused primarily on the production of spunbonded nonwovens, an anti-bacterial fabric used to make surgical masks, sanitary pads and diapers.
