Handicrafts - funded, compliant, and growing.
We work with handicrafts businesses across India - from first-time MSME registrations to ₹5 Cr collateral-free term loans and the growth engines that compound after.
How the work runs for handicrafts.
India's 64.66 lakh handloom and handicraft artisans exported close to $3.9 billion worth of goods in FY25, with women making up 71% of handloom weavers. Cluster-based capital subsidy and export documentation support matter more here than conventional term loans.
We map central and state schemes against your stage, turnover, and promoter category, then build the project report and run the applications to sanction. After funding, we sequence registration, compliance, and growth - so the work compounds rather than fragments across vendors.

Handicraft clusters
Registrations handicrafts businesses usually need.
- Udyam / MSME registration
- Artisan Card / Craft registration
- GI tag (where applicable)
- IEC code (for exporters)
- GeM registration (for institutional sales)
Where handicrafts businesses usually get stuck.
- Working capital is scarce for artisans without formal books or collateral
- Export compliance and buyer certification (GI, fair-trade) is unfamiliar territory
- Middlemen margins erode already-thin producer pricing
