About Us
Kula, in different local Indian languages has many meanings - community, kinship, family, like-mindedness.
Why Kula?
“Only 1 in 10 craft-led MSMEs in India have easy access to finance”
India’s many creative and cultural enterprises want access to the right finance, the right support and the right networks to build future-ready solutions that benefit our planet and our people.
We listened. We heard. Hence, Kula.
- Business of Handmade, 2nd Edition
Kula represents our stubborn commitment to community-building and radical collaborations for a thriving cultural economy.
A first-of-its-kind conclave
Kula Conclave aims to facilitate a dialogue between investors, industry leaders and passionate innovators building impact-led solutions in India’s cultural economy, especially its Creative Manufacturing and Handmade (CMH) sector.
The first edition of Kula was held in July 2023 in Bangalore.
Future forward

Immaculately conceptualised & executed
“A meeting point for impact professionals and entrepreneurs that brought to the forefront not only ideas and insights but also the conviction that the sector needs more focus, finance, collaborations, partnerships to preserve our cultural heritage and support the ecosystem with adequate resources.”
