The seed of ‘Swadeshi Handicraft Pvt. Ltd.’ was sowed back in 2019, when two friends from a University in state of Maharashtra came up with the idea of direct selling of handicrafts to the customers by the artisans cutting of all the middlemen thus profiting the artisans and handicraft industry. On date 6th May 2021 ‘Swadeshi Handicraft Pvt. Ltd.’ was officially launched to serve the exact same purpose. The tradition of crafts in India has very much grown around religious values, needs of common people and the ruling elite. In India, the handicraft industry still is influenced by foreign and domestic trades and it has played pivotal role in its evolution. The ‘Swadeshi Handicraft Pvt. Ltd.’ is a digital commerce start-up committed to making art and handicraft product accessible to everyone. We also strive to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction. We are proud of our value system, which includes: Inclusiveness, Creativity, Innovation and Sustainability. The vision of ‘Swadeshi Handicraft Pvt. Ltd.’ is to become India’s largest online platform for local artisans where they can not only sell their craft, but also showcase their creativity and innovation in a sustainable and inclusive environment.
