Ekibeki

In Marathi, ‘Eki' stands for odd, unique, or unity, and, ‘Beki' means even, common, or diversity. True to our name, we achieve balance by bringing together things that have traditionally been perceived to be at odds with each other. Ekibeki refers to the oneness of interests, sentiments, and pursuits among different groups or entities. EkiBeki is a hybrid social enterprise that works to preserve the rich craft heritage of India and promote traditional arts and crafts in contemporary forms. Our aim is to revive the folk arts and crafts of India, help generate sustainable livelihoods for artisans, and help the artisans grow the community craft clusters in their natural habitat.
