From masks to vases to lampshades and more, Raktima Mitra’s World Of Wonders is exactly the place to go when you need any of these!
From handmade products like vases, pots, trays, coasters, keyrings, dupattas, to T-shirts, blouses, lampshades and masks, we make them all. The products are customised to suit all our customers’ needs.
We are located in Kolkata and currently operating from her residence. But you can also find them on their Facebook page right here.
I heard a lot about the Indian freedom struggle from my grandfathers and watched them giving importance to human welfare and their sentiments. Following their ideology, I found peace in making others happy.
After completing my MBA, I joined the corporate sector. But in 2007, I shifted to the education sector. This gave me an opportunity to explore the talents of our Bengal artisans and their immense talent. Seeing their miserable state, I decided to form a group with seven people, who have expertise in one or two artforms.
We design according to customer’s requirements and use different art-forms in our work which makes us unique. Every week we try and include a new item.
Right now we have diversified into beauty products and bridal make up. In the future, we would introduce designer masks too setting us apart from others. Our main focus is to distribute the sale proceeds among the needy, and we have already contributed to CINI and CRY.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
