Craft Enterprise Development
The project works in close collaboration with craftpreneurs, striving towards holistic enterprise development for our artisan cohorts. We enable creaftprenuers through enterprise development which focusses on increasing key skills like business knowledge, product development, finance and inventory management amongst others. We aim to help them increase their revenue by addressing critical gaps. Craft Enterprise Development works mainly with non-textile crafts like metal, wood, glass and hand painting as well as tribal and languishing crafts. Our cohort comprises 15-20 such enterprises.


CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOPS
Capacity Building workshops aim to build the next generation of craftprenuers. The workshops empower craftpreneurs through focused and dynamic training programs with the goal of preparing them to meet market demands. A residential program, the workshops provide guided training with flexible modules suited and tailored to their individual requirement and capabilities.


ARTISAN MARKET CONNECT
Creating a strong network of buyers is critical to enterprise success. We link creaftprenuers with prospective B2B and B2C clients while also featuring at events and exhibits, establishing direct consumer connections; facilitating opportunities enabling them to expand their market presence. We also enable them to explore eCommerce marketplaces, corporate gifting and designer collaborations. Our opportunities at exhibitions, fairs and the likes are open to Tarasha’s network of alumni as well.

Manikchand Mahato brings Sohrai painting back to its earthen roots through a collaboration with designer Enakshi Ghosh. Traditional mud wall paintings from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, find new life on terracotta pots, celebrating the mother-daughter transmission of this ancient art form. They translate vibrant animal-centric motifs onto curved clay surfaces, bridging past and present. This project not only preserves the traditional aesthetic of Sohrai art but also opens new avenues for its expression beyond paper and walls.

In Rampur's polluted lakes, vibrant Mallard ducks glide across murky waters - a contrast captured in designer Enakshi Ghosh's collaboration with kite-makers Touseef and Shavez Mian. Through their paper scroll, they transform traditional kite-making techniques to portray these resilient birds, using bright colours to highlight the hidden struggles of wildlife against environmental degradation. The brothers' expertise in crafting delicate paper forms brings depth to this environmental narrative, creating a wall partition that serves both as artistic statement and commentary on nature's quiet perseverance.

In a magical fusion of traditions, papier-mâché craft from Madhubani, Bihar meets Gond and Bhil tribal artistry in five enchanting sculptures. Under designer Aditi Prakash's vision, master craftsmen bring to life mythical creatures: a winged horse yearning for flight, a gentle elephant surrounded by woodland friends, a contemplative deer facing its reflection, a textured cow symbolizing abundance and a mystical purple-faced tiger. Each piece weaves together different artistic traditions, creating a collection where tribal motifs dance across three-dimensional forms.
