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.”

-Business of Handmade, 2nd Edition

India’s many creative, cultural and craft-led 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 acted. Hence, Kula.

We represent stubborn commitment to community-building and radical collaborations for a thriving cultural economy.
