Tana Bana Crafts

Profile / Brief Description :
Tana Bana, in quintessence, is an amalgamation of the rural & the urban. It acts as a platform wherein
the traditional fuses with the contemporary to showcase their authentic Indian arts and crafts to the
modern world.

Tana Bana was born out of the desire to revive the glory of the Bhagalpur Tasar Silk industry
by providing the quality products of the weavers with adequate market linkages through active
partnership and shared ownership of the organization. Over a relatively short span of time it has
transformed into a larger platform by working towards a vision to ultimately provide a global
retailing & aggregating platform for exquisite hand crafted products that are made through traditional
techniques & processes carried out by hereditary artisans and weavers.

Our artisans blend indigenous art & craft techniques with contemporary designs to bring aesthetic and
exclusive products to the end consumers in order to assist them in their quest to find quality products.

Tana Bana was founded with a dream of creating a sustainable organization with progressive
environment, societal and human rights policies – a business that strives to meet the “Triple Bottom
Line” (also known as "people, planet, profit”).

The vision is to have a business that is ultimately owned by promoters, investors, employees and last
but not the least; the primary producers of the craft products. We believe that profit is just a basic
necessary evil to keep our business sustainable. At the same time, the promoters are very clear in their
view that any such profit must be shared with the primary producers as they are the ones who create
the products which ultimately sell in the market. Therefore, they are the most important and deserving
stakeholder in the whole process.
