The artisan economy is too big a job for one company
Odisha Vastram works with institutions that share one goal: genuine makers earning properly from their craft. If your organisation works with artisan communities — as a government body, NGO, institution or brand — there is almost certainly a way we can be useful to each other.
Five kinds of collaboration
Sellers are not partners — selling has its own dedicated journey. Partnership means institutional collaboration.
Government & public bodies
Handloom and handicraft departments, development corporations, district administrations and cluster programmes seeking a credible digital channel for the artisans they serve.
NGOs & producer organisations
Organisations working with weaver and artisan communities who want member products professionally onboarded, listed and settled — with the transparency your governance requires.
Institutions & academia
Design schools, craft research bodies and skill-development institutions interested in documentation, design intervention and market-linkage collaborations.
Brands & retail
Ethical fashion and décor brands looking to source verified, authentic handcrafted products with a clear chain of provenance.
Media & storytellers
Publications and creators documenting Indian craft. We open our seller network and craft documentation for stories that deserve telling.
