Our Story

Working Towards a Better Tomorrow

Adhar Samajik Sanstha is a step towards reviving Indian handicrafts and the artisans making these handicrafts. It's a brave initiative taken by Mrs. Aaparna A. Bagal-Chavan and Mr. Aatish S. Chavan to connect with different dimensions of indigenous handmade products and cherish each and every aspect of their tradition. Kalapuri.com is a socio-economic venture providing an online marketplace for promoting, selling and buying of Indian handicrafts along with a vision of improving and upgrading the artisan's skills and their livelihood.

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Adhar Samajik Sanstha emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 2006, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support for women empowerment. Contact us to learn more and get involved.
