BaisaCrafts is the original brainchild of Manju who hails from an interior yet vibrant village from Nagaur District of Rajasthan. Manju grew up amidst the art and culture admiring the zeal and craftsmanship of the women in nearby villages. The thought of these talented artisans from villages remaining unknown and unrewarded for their handicraft, despite huge global demand for these products became a wrecking note to her eventually. The native art dying a slow yet certain death and the artisans having to opt for alternative vocations to keep their finances going in lieu of their immense talent was another unsettling thought too.
