About us

Anuswaar is a community-rooted initiative that champions India’s traditional crafts by empowering the hands that keep them alive. We connect artisans—often women, marginalized groups, and rural creators—with the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to thrive in today’s world. From skill-building to global storytelling, our programs work across cultural, economic, and creative dimensions to ensure that centuries-old traditions aren’t lost—but transformed into dignified livelihoods and renewed heritage. At Anuswaar, we don't just preserve crafts—we amplify the lives behind them.
