About Industree Foundation
Established in 2000, Industree Foundation holistically tackles the root causes of poverty by creating
an ownership-based, organized creative manufacturing ecosystem for micro-entrepreneurs. Industree
works with a vision to co-create an ecosystem with farmers, artisans and stakeholders, creating a new
way of building sustainable enterprises and work culture. Industree Foundation’s comprehensive
approach helps communities assess their traditional skill base, organize them into production units,
develop products that appeal to modern markets, and create consistent demand to create sustainable
businesses at the lowest possible costs.
Our approach has tripled the incomes of artisans in non-farm occupations by leveraging their artisanal
skills and integrating them into the creative industries sector. The Foundation believes that if the poor
have access to sustained and consistent demand for their products and services and are provided with
an enabling ecosystem, they can integrate into the formal economy and lift themselves out of
poverty. We have reached 80,000 women artisans across India and Africa, through collaborative
efforts with organizations like The Future group, IKEA, The Commonwealth Secretariat, Grassroots
Business Fund, and National Skill Development Corporation. You can read more about its work
