We build dignified livelihoods
through craft.
Kottravai is a women-led platform creating eco-friendly handmade products while enabling rural women artisans to earn sustainable, independent incomes. We believe economic dignity strengthens families, preserves traditions, and builds resilient communities.
When skill met opportunity.
Kottravai emerged at a moment when rural women needed more than sympathy — they needed access, direction, and belief.
What began as a simple idea evolved into a platform that transforms traditional skills into sustainable, dignified livelihoods.
Here, women move beyond informal labour. They learn, create, and build independent futures through craft.
Heart & Horizon
Kottravai exists at the intersection of timeless heritage and ethical progress. We are not just creating products; we are cultivating a movement that honors the hands that create and the earth that provides.
Our Mission
To revive and elevate the ancient craft traditions of India by creating sustainable, dignified livelihoods for rural women artisans. We are committed to a zero-waste philosophy, ensuring that every creation contributes to the healing of our planet while celebrating the unparalleled beauty of human skill.
We strive to bridge the gap between rural master craftsmen and the global connoisseur, fostering a transparent ecosystem where value is shared, and culture is preserved for generations to come.
Our Vision
To be the global beacon of ethical luxury, redefining wealth not as accumulation, but as impact. We envision a world where luxury is synonymous with conscience, where every purchase tells a story of empowerment, and where traditional Indian artistry earns its rightful place on the world stage.
We see a future where Kottravai inspires a shift in global consumption—from improved utility to cherished legacy—creating a ripple effect of prosperity that touches every life in our value chain.
