Artisans & Livelihoods

Turning registered artisans into paid work: service catalogues, demand from institutional buyers, dispatch, payments and local service hubs.

Registering artisans is the easy part. The hard part is the work that follows: orders, dispatch, fair prices and timely payment. We design the demand and operating layer that turns a register of karigars into a working livelihood.

The problems we solve

  1. Registration on portals rarely turns into paid work.
  2. Prices and quality vary with no shared reference.
  3. Payments are slow and hard to trace.
  4. Good work does not build a reputation that carries forward.

What we do

  • Services marketplaces with a catalogue of trades
  • District rate cards held as data
  • Local service hubs for parts, tools and custody
  • Demand from institutional and business buyers
  • Field assessments of craft and weaving clusters
