Where India's Makers Meet

Program:

Held in Goa during FY 2024-25, the Kula Conclave was built to solve a coordination problem: artisan entrepreneurs, social enterprises, investors, designers and market actors in India's handmade sector rarely have a single place to actually meet each other. The event ran panel discussions, workshops, enterprise showcases, networking sessions and investor interactions, covering entrepreneurship, market access, climate resilience and inclusive business growth over its course.

Measurable Outcomes:

More than 220 participants took part, representing over 100 social enterprises, with 30+ investor interactions facilitated on-site. The enterprises in the room collectively touch between 20,000 and 30,000 low-income households across India, which is the real scale behind a single conclave.
