When I first imagined Handlooom.com, I thought I was building an ecommerce company. A place where people could buy authentic handloom products. A platform that would connect artisans with customers. A business. Nothing more. Or so I believed. The more I travelled through weaving communities, the more I realised I...
One of the most common questions I hear is: “Why should I spend ₹5,000 on a handloom saree when I can buy something similar online for ₹999?” It’s a fair question. But it’s also a question built on an illusion. Because the two products are rarely the same. One is...
