India Craft Art works with rural women artisans to create elegant, handcrafted jute baskets designed for modern homes. We don’t add profit to their work—not as charity, but as a belief that livelihoods need markets, not sympathy. Each piece is thoughtfully made, minimal in design, and rich in purpose. These baskets are not decorative fillers; they are functional objects with soul. They carry the skill, discipline, and pride of the women who make them. When you bring one into your home, you don’t just add a product—you affirm dignity.
Sustainable by material, ethical by intent, and timeless by design. This is craftsmanship that belongs—beautifully—in everyday living.
Bhavna Parasrampuria (Founder)
India Craft Art was founded by Bhavna Parasrampuria, driven by a desire to create work that is honest, sustainable, and rooted in human value.
After years of experience in textiles and craftsmanship, Bhavna chose a different path—one that moves away from profit-first thinking and toward livelihood-first impact. Her focus is not on scale at any cost, but on consistency, quality, and respect for the people who make each product possible.
For Bhavna, India Craft Art is not just a brand. It is a platform where skilled women can earn with dignity, and conscious consumers can make thoughtful choices.
Dastgir (Workshop Lead & Craft Partner)
At the heart of our production is Dastgir, who leads the workshop where our jute baskets are made.
Physically challenged yet deeply resilient, Dastgir runs the workshop as a business—procuring raw materials, managing processes, and working closely with women artisans to ensure quality, timelines, and fairness. His leadership is quiet but powerful, built on trust, discipline, and mutual respect.
The women he works with are not treated as beneficiaries, but as professionals—skilled artisans whose work sustains families and strengthens communities.
Together, they transform natural jute into products that are purposeful, durable, and beautifully made.
Our Way of Working
• We work with natural, responsibly sourced jute
• Every piece is handwoven by skilled women
• We focus on long-term livelihoods, not short-term margins
• We believe craftsmanship deserves respect, visibility, and fair value
India Craft Art exists at the intersection of design, dignity, and sustainability—where every product carries a story, and every story is rooted in real work.
What we make is simple. Why we make it is not.
