Tulika Madhup Darbari
Small Business Owner in Pune
With over 28+ years of experience, I have been dedicated to promoting and preserving India's rich handicraft heritage by connecting skilled artisans from remote villages with customers in metropolitan and international markets. Throughout my journey, I have sourced, curated, and showcased authentic handmade products, helping traditional crafts reach wider audiences while supporting rural artisan communities.
My expertise includes identifying unique regional handicrafts, building artisan networks, developing market opportunities, and introducing handcrafted products to urban and global consumers. By bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern markets, I have contributed to the growth of artisan livelihoods and the preservation of India's cultural legacy.
