Thoomri. com has given artisans like me a platform to utilise and monetise our abilities and I am very thankful to Thoomri.”

“I receive orders from Thoomri amounting to about Rs 10,000 - 15,000 every month. My association with Thoomri is much more than the monetary value they give, I am happy to know there is a contemporary entity recognising our talent and handicrafts. Thoomri has encouraged all of us and given us further belief in the fact that our craft is undying and will survive in modern times.”

“In 50+ years of my career, I had never imagined that our stone carvings could be sold online. I am thankful to Thoomri for giving us the opportunity to promote our products globally. Thoomri has also reinstalled in us the value of our craft, thus giving us the belief that our crafts are ever so valuable across the globe. Our work requires a lot of skill, dedication and patience, and not everyone recognises that, we are thankful that contemporary entities like Thoomri exist”
