HandsOfIndia (HoI) is the collective dream of two sisters, Malyada and Ramya. Both of us share an immense passion and love for the handicraft tradition and the people who are masters of such traditional and inspiring skills. We also strongly believe that sustainable natural processes make the best products. Both of us got together in the year 2005 motivated to work with artisans and market their exquisite, natural and handmade products. HoI was thus born in the spring of the year 2006 in New Delhi. We currently work in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, MP, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Assam, Karnataka and Tamil-Nadu, and our craft associations range from soof and ahir embroidery, hand made laces, silver jewellery, handloom fabrics, stone pottery, terracotta, oak silk, batik-dyeing and various kinds of hand embroidery.



"HandsOfIndia" showcases the timeless creations made by the humble artisans of our country who are largely unaware of the real worth of their products, especially in a marketplace cluttered with mass produced replicas. This name signifies the skill and painstaking handwork of the craftspeople and the fact that these products are created using simple, natural techniques relying solely on the accumulated knowledge of generations of artisans and the skill of the human hand. It reaffirms our love for all things handmade. We at "HandsOfIndia" work with these masters of traditional designs and hope to create a market for their products - a market which is as easily accessible to the artisans as it is to the consumers, so that the handiwork tradition of our country continues, inspiring future generations to take it up as a vocation.
