... Thought behind our existance ...

The idea of TheIndianMakers.com has taken shape from understanding the relationship between artisans and customers in the past. This relationship was very close, with both being responsible for each other. It continued across generations and ensured the sustainability of crafts and the livelihood of artisans.

 

There existed a system where families from one or several villages were distributed and connected with different artisan families. This was done in such a way that the production capacity of each artisan family was supported by a sufficient number of consuming families, ensuring the well-being of the artisans.

 

The name of the artisan itself worked as a brand, built on the foundation of high-quality craftsmanship. However, this socio-economic system has collapsed over the last four to five decades, as industrial products found their way into rural India.

 

Artisans still possess the skills to create unique products, but the current local demand is not enough to support their full production potential. While they are aware of growing markets in urban India and internationally, they have limited access and knowledge of how to reach these opportunities. These skilled artisans need a small push to connect with new markets. Being a grassroots organization, we envisioned TheIndianMakers.com as a bridge between artisans and customers.

 

TheIndianMakers.com is owned and operated by Kalapraant Collective Private Limited, a registered company. It was incorporated on August 27, 2024, under the Indian Companies Act, with registration number U46411MP2024PTC072651.

 

Our long-term vision is to build an artisan-owned company, where artisans themselves can become equity shareholders and shape a better future.
