Rare Planet Handicrafts Pvt Ltd secures $2.1M in seed funding to empower Indian artisans and promote traditional crafts

We are thrilled to announce that Rare Planet Handicrafts Pvt Ltd has successfully raised $2,100,000 in funding to further our mission of empowering Indian artisans and preserving the country's rich cultural heritage. Since our inception in 2015, we have dedicated ourselves to curating a collection of high-quality, beautifully designed handicrafts that reflect the vibrant artistry of over 25,000 rural artisans across India. With this new capital, we aim to expand our reach even further, enhancing our product offerings while strengthening the livelihoods of the skilled craftsmen and women who create them. Our meticulously crafted range spans more than 10 categories, including exquisite home utilities, hand-painted ceramics, textiles, dazzling jewellery, and charming wooden toys, all proudly showcasing the essence of Indian craftsmanship. The funding will be instrumental in launching new stores beyond our existing 32 locations, allowing us to bring the magic of Rare Planet to every corner of India. Moreover, we'll be investing in workshops and training programs that not only improve artisans’ skills but also promote sustainable practices within their communities. As we move forward, we invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can uplift artisans, cherish our heritage, and promote the beauty of traditional crafts in a modern world. With your support, Rare Planet will continue to be a beacon of hope, creativity, and cultural pride, fostering an AtmaNirbhar Bharat—one remarkable creation at a time.
