Our Story: Being rooted
Sustainable Elegance Begins Here.
Indriya is a play of senses. Indriya is an exquisite yet rooted statement of quiet elegance. The correlation of the five human senses or 'Indriya', to integrate with the persona is the ultimate desire of Indriya.
Indriya is an All-Women Enterprise formed by Arthi who has spent numerous years in the Corporate world building Human Relations and Business Profitability. The call for change came in the form of a realisation of mindless consumerism, use/ignore and environment polluting fast fashion, unfair trade practices observed, and the rapid proliferation of guises of Handmade / Handwoven products.
​
In response, the Indriya team has initiated a ‘Maker to Market’ business platform by collaborating with and connecting craft-based NGO’s, Cooperative societies and lesser known hand craft based social enterprises and Artisans directly to the market. Our Vision is to support and impact livelihoods of India’s 4.3 million handloom weavers and 7 million artisans, majority who live below the poverty line (source 4th All Indian Handloom census 2018, GOI). Brand Indriya offers a curated range of authentic, premium, artisanal, eco friendly products that epitomize the principles of 'slow-fashion'.
​
Indriya is the culmination of the firm belief and conviction that Arthi has in her skills, borne from experience, individual personal aesthetics of quiet elegance and deeply rooted values and ethics that have been acquired and honed while working in Senior Management roles for large Indian, respectable, professionally run Corporate enterprises.
​
Arthi has a passion to ‘pay-forward’ and make a difference to our world by making it a little better that it already is.
