Every year IICD Incubator Programme comes with a combined package of knowledge, resource and technical inputs that opens an ocean of opportunities for our cohort. It was the third day at IICD campus where our IICD Incubator Cohort got an opportunity to interact directly with Dr. Nilesh Priyadarshi Founder of Kaarigar Clinic. This session on "Craft Business" projected a lot of groundbreaking facts, problems and solutions that created India's first rural business venture, Kaarigar Clinic. It has built the bridge between the rural and urban households. It empowers artisans to become entrepreneurs through business training, digital and design upskilling, marketing and business health checkups and connects the artists with a network of collaborators across the country. At the same time, Kaarigar Clinic serves an important function of providing buyers with a sustainable alternate choice over patterns of wasteful consumption.
The IICD Incubator cohort is grateful to Dr. Nilesh Priyadarshi for his insightful sharings through his journey. His journey with Pabiben has been highly motivating. We look forward to staying connected and being a resource to Karigar Clinic as young Entrepreneurs of today’s India.
