About Karigar Bazaar
Karigar Bazaar is an initiative of Craft & Artisan Revival LLP, founded by Pankaj Rana and Aamir Khan, who serve as Director & Co-Founders. It was shaped by the shared vision, dedication, and passion of five individuals — Pankaj Rana, Aamir Khan, Manoj Baghel, Aashi Khan, and Sana Israr, — who came together with a common mission: to create a meaningful platform for India’s talented artisans and preserve the country’s rich craft heritage.
Karigar Bazaar is not just an event or a marketplace; it is a movement that celebrates the spirit of handmade traditions and the people behind them. Across India, countless artisans carry forward skills that have been passed down through generations, yet many struggle to find the right platform to showcase their work. Karigar Bazaar was created to bridge this gap — connecting artisans directly with audiences who value authenticity, culture, and craftsmanship.
Every stall, every product, and every story at Karigar Bazaar reflects the dedication, creativity, and cultural legacy of India’s craftspeople. From intricate textiles and handmade jewellery to traditional art and craft forms, each creation carries the soul of the artisan who made it.
Beyond showcasing crafts, Karigar Bazaar also aims to educate and inspire the younger generation about the importance and value of handmade traditions. By creating awareness and encouraging appreciation for authentic craftsmanship, we hope to ensure that these timeless skills continue to live on in the hearts of future generations.
Our mission is to empower artisans by giving them visibility, fair opportunities, and recognition while keeping traditional crafts alive for years to come. Karigar Bazaar stands as a celebration of heritage, creativity, and community — where every craft tells a story and every artisan finds a voice
