Anjali Jha Foundation

At our foundation, we are committed to upholding India’s rich artisanal heritage, particularly in traditional textile craftsmanship. With time, many traditional textile techniques are fading, and with them, a legacy of craftsmanship. It is essential to preserve and revitalize these art forms before they are lost to history. Through structured mentorship and education, we provide artisans with opportunities to refine their skills and connect with contemporary markets.

We believe craftsmanship is for everyone with a passion for learning. Our programs bring together artisans, designers, and industry leaders, ensuring traditional techniques remain relevant in modern contexts. By integrating ethical practices, expanding market access, and strengthening artisan communities, we work to build a future where Indian craftsmanship is valued and celebrated globally.
