Haath Ka Bana is a visionary social enterprise that has redefined the Indian handicraft landscape by bridging tradition with livelihood. Founded in 2013, the brand is deeply rooted in the mission of Preserve-Promote-Empower, a motto that captures its commitment to protecting India’s cultural heritage while empowering artisan communities.
Over the years, Haath Ka Bana has grown into a leading handicraft solutions provider in the country, boasting a depth of over 75 craft forms and a robust artisan network of more than 4,000 families. These crafts span diverse geographies and cultural narratives from Banaras weave brocade and Kashmiri papier mâché to Rajasthan’s miniature art and Moradabad’s intricate metalwork.
The brand’s impact goes far beyond aesthetics. With more than 8.5 lakh man-days of employment generated, Haath Ka Bana is a model of inclusive economic development. It promotes handmade excellence through ethically sourced, skillfully crafted, and purposefully designed products. By collaborating with National and State award-winning artisans as well as local master craftsmen, the brand ensures every piece tells a story of heritage, resilience, and authenticity. Its recognition is testimony to its purpose: it has received the Social Entrepreneur Award in Art, Craft, and Handicrafts by MSME Times, and was named among the Top 10 Leaders in Art, Craft & Design by CEO Insights.
The Haath Ka Bana catalogue is a celebration of Indian craftsmanship, creativity, and thoughtful gifting. It offers an extensive selection of curated gift hampers, décor pieces, wellness products, and accessories, each infused with regional artistry and handloom traditions. From corporate gifting to festive offerings, each product set combines utility with cultural elegance. A hamper may include GI-tagged coffee, Banaras diyas, handwoven Mashru stoles, hand-painted trays, or miniature artwork framed in brocade and silk.
The catalogue also includes innovative items like Ajrakh-styled passport holders, copper wellness sets, and Kashmiri papier mâché bookends, all thoughtfully presented and ready to be personalized.
What sets Haath Ka Bana apart is its approach to collaborative curation. Instead of mass production, the products are developed in close alignment with artisan clusters, preserving age-old techniques while adapting to modern utility and tastes. From Pichwai art in Rajasthan to Rogan paintings of Gujarat, and brassware from Moradabad to Mashru weaves of Gujarat, the variety is both visually and culturally rich. Many offerings are designed to bring utility to homes, offices, and personal routines tea sets with Khurja pottery, eco-conscious copper drinkware, and handloom-based stationery rooted in sustainable practices and slow craftsmanship.
Haath Ka Bana’s ecosystem promotes not just buying but experiencing heritage. The brand extends its philosophy into creating awareness, conducting workshops, and developing curated cultural spaces. Every purchase from the catalogue serves a dual purpose: it enriches the consumer’s life with beauty and meaning, and it uplifts the artisans with sustainable income, recognition, and pride in their work. By integrating artisanal brilliance with responsible commerce, Haath Ka Bana embodies a new narrative of India, one where craft is not just preserved but celebrated in everyday life. It proves that luxury and tradition can coexist with social impact, that heritage can evolve without losing its roots, and that art, when supported ethically, has the power to transform lives and societies.
For anyone seeking conscious gifting or soulful design rooted in Indian identity, Haath Ka Bana offers an authentic and beautiful way forward.
