From Dharavi, to you.

Dharavi, as we know it today, is the world’s largest slum area in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Within such a dense population, people have established several scattered businesses, one such example being the people living in the area of Kumbharwada. As the name suggests, ‘Kumbhar’ meaning ‘potter’, it is an area wherein people are solely engaged in the business of pottery. Now there are around ten thousand families who earn their livelihood by making artefacts out of clay. But unfortunately, because of the repetitive nature of the designs and the lack of market for the same this has become a dying business with the current potters abandoning their craft and opting for other means of employment. Our initiative is to collaborate with the potters , introducing new designs and aiding them in making small changes to their traditional techniques to make products that are better suited to the current market.
