Preserving Heritage Through Craft
We are a passionate community dedicated to supporting traditional artisans and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh through authentic, handmade crafts that tell stories of generations.
Our Story
Founded in 2018, our marketplace began as a small initiative to help local artisans in Chhattisgarh reach broader markets while preserving their traditional crafts. What started as connecting a handful of weavers with customers has grown into a thriving community of over 150 master artisans.
We witnessed firsthand how globalization and mass production were threatening centuries-old craft traditions. Many skilled artisans were struggling to make a living from their ancestral trades, and young people were abandoning these crafts for modern jobs.
Our mission became clear: create a sustainable platform that honors traditional craftsmanship while providing artisans with fair compensation and global reach. Every product sold through our marketplace directly supports the craftsperson and their community.
