The Karigarwala Movement
Karigarwala is more than a movement—it’s a heartfelt commitment to India’s artisans, the heartbeat of the nation’s cultural heritage. We work closely with rural craftsmen and women, preserving not only their timeless crafts but also honouring their stories, traditions, and livelihoods. Our mission is to empower artisans by helping them adapt their techniques to meet modern market demands while preserving the integrity of their craft. At Karigarwala, we ensure that artisans' hard work is met with the respect and dignity it deserves.
What we do
At Karigarwala, we believe in the power of human hands to create, inspire, and preserve centuries of culture. Our mission goes beyond simply supporting artisans—we’re here to transform their lives. By blending ancient craftsmanship with modern opportunities, we help artisans not only survive but thrive.
Every program at Karigarwala is rooted in a shared vision: to honor India’s artisans not just as keepers of tradition, but as innovators, storytellers, and changemakers.
With passion and dedication, we’re building a future where tradition and innovation meet, and where the true value of these artisans is celebrated globally.
Skill Enhancement Workshops
At Karigarwala, our workshops are about more than just learning—they’re about empowering artisans to grow. We work closely with them to refine their skills, explore fresh designs, and elevate the quality of their craft. These sessions provide artisans with the confidence and tools to succeed in modern global markets, all while staying true to their cultural roots.
Sustainable Craft Tourism
Karigarwala’s sustainable craft tourism invites visitors to experience the beauty of traditional crafts firsthand while supporting artisans directly. This initiative preserves culture, fosters meaningful connections, and uplifts both artisans and communities, creating a positive impact that endures.
Digital Empowerment
At Karigarwala, we equip artisans with the skills to navigate e-commerce and online marketing, allowing them to share their unique stories and crafts with global audiences. This not only opens new opportunities but also empowers artisans to take control of their own success, fostering independence and growth.
Our goal
Our mission is to preserve their ancient crafts while helping them thrive in today’s world. Through education, innovation, and ethical practices, we create sustainable livelihoods that honor both tradition and progress. With passion, we work to build a future where artisans are globally celebrated, their skills valued, and their work drives lasting socio-economic growth.
