We are a platform where artisans and handmade product entrepreneurs speak in their own voices, and where professionals who work closely with the ecosystem—accountants, compliance experts, designers, exporters, policymakers, bureaucrats, social enterprises, and nonprofits—contribute grounded perspectives drawn from real engagement with craft communities.

Idhiyaan follows a hybrid publishing model. Some stories are commissioned and curated by our editorial team. Others are submitted directly by contributors and reviewed for clarity, accuracy, and relevance. In both cases, our role is not to narrate or interpret, but to publish first-person accounts and field knowledge that rarely find space in mainstream discourse.

We focus on what actually shapes artisan lives: taxation, compliance, pricing, platforms, exports, policy, labour, markets, failures, and survival—not as abstractions, but as lived realities. Stories are published either directly by authors or in an “as told to Idhiyaan” format, ensuring accessibility without diluting voice or experience.

Our goal is simple and deliberate: to place the life impact of economic decisions—on artisans, makers, and small handmade enterprises—at the centre of the public record. By doing so, Idhiyaan aims to build long-term legitimacy for the handicrafts ecosystem, grounded not in visibility or volume, but in truth, experience, and continuity.
