Direct Create Plans To Launch Awareness Campaign To Promote Handicrafts

The campaign will be rolled out in several small towns and villages through NGOs and with government collaboration, it said.
The platform is already connected with a community of 15,000 makers and designers with 2,500 artisans and designers, according toSheela Lunkad, who along with her husband Rajeev Lumkaf founded the Direct Create.
Direct Create is also in discussions with financial institutions and angel investors to support small businesses in the craft space, she added.
