Our Journey

From the ancient looms of India to luxury homes worldwide, discover the heritage that weaves through every thread of our story.

A Legacy Woven in Time

Founded in 2025 by Palakshya Sharma and team in Bhopal, Indikaara was born to celebrate India’s timeless artistry. Palakshya’s journey through the weaving centers of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh revealed master artisans who had perfected their craft for generations yet struggled to reach global markets.

Indikaara stands as a bridge between artisans and discerning customers worldwide, ensuring each handcrafted piece reflects beauty, fair trade, sustainability, and cultural preservation.

Beyond weaving traditions, we collaborate with artists of Gond art from Madhya Pradesh and Warli art from Chhattisgarh, along with Madhubani, Mandala, and Wheat Stem art. These diverse art forms carry stories of nature, mythology, spirituality, and rural ingenuity.

By weaving these legacies into our designs, we keep Indian culture intact while offering authentic, handcrafted products. Indikaara is more than a marketplace—it is a movement to honor artisans with dignity, recognition, and fair value.
