we love to travel, meet people, experience different culture’s & do exhibition’s, display our handcrafted product’s to a few like minded store’s in & out of mumbai, collaborate with existing lovely online e-commerce portals such as shopo,unwrap,etc…. not to forget our first order was from facebook, followed by the blog & twitter!

scouting for some lovely store space’s, garages, empty houses, in the right location’s in & out of mumbai, goa to display & bridge the gap of rural artisan’s, ngo’s shg’s, micro-enterprise’s who are engaged in making craft’s from rural India.

a new journey

six month’s back a mail popped in my inbox from “by hand from the heart” the name amused me & soon i spoke to deepa sekar the event organizer who with her tamil accent welcomed matsya to participate for their exhibition.

This was the first time matsya was going out of mumbai, a bit nervous, but everything fell in place through the support of three women entrepreneurs Kshiti, Anjali & Deepa. Started preparing goodies for chennai!

The journey began in September, an overwhelming response from the people of Chennai, people poured in from all over & loved what we were doing & we sold off almost everything …..

The rich culture, tradition’s, & people of tamilnadu chennai touched my heart & i was determined to set up the matsya model in Chennai…The three consecutive exhibition’s resulted in strong relationships with people, store tie up’s & and some lovely collaboration’s to expand matsya not only in Chennai but entire south India.

It’s not only sales but building relationships through matsya . We are looking at more collaboration’s like these who can further implement matsya’s larger objective’s within their own cities, town’s thus empowering people who can then further empower hundred’s & thousand’s of people by providing sustainable livelihoods…

a new journey has begun stay connected we are soon coming up with very interesting project’s such as micro enterprises, craft tour’s in tamilnadu and many more adventure’s

join & partner the vibrant journey:)

cheers
