handcrafted

Prakruthi Rao & Akshara Mehta, from Juhu Beach Studio, are revolutionising fashion by transforming textile waste into durable products.

Nandan Bhat’s Pune-based social enterprise, EcoKaari upcycles plastic waste into handcrafted fabrics using handlooms and wooden spindles (charkha).

The flavours available at Prerna’s Handcrafted Ice-cream are Pure chocolate, Chocolate with Almonds, Pure Coffee, Vanilla with Assorted Nuts and Black Raisins, Coconut and Almond Marzipan.

A carpenter in Punjab’s Zirakpur, Dhani Ram Saggu crafted an eco-friendly bicycle from wood to beat lockdown blues. Little did he know that it would go viral, and more importantly, get him orders from as far as Canada.

What makes mothers such great entrepreneurs? We guess it has something to do with years of practicing patience, multi-tasking, and knowing how to make the most of every spare minute! #WomenEntrepreneurs

As more and more Indian corporations and businesses grow and expand, the culture of corporate gifting is also seeing increased adoption. Through a simple decision to buy handcrafted products, corporate houses can turn this gifting culture into income and employment opportunities for rural Indian artisans.
