Whether you’re an arts and crafts connoisseur or are looking for handicrafts, Akansha Dixit’s Craft Maestros is the place for you!
I co-founded Craft Maestros, an e-commerce platform, in 2018, in my pursuit to bridge the gap between exquisite Indian handicraft products and the connoisseurs of fine crafts.
In a market where sellers hardly vouch for authenticity and quality, we source most of our products from the homes of nationally awarded master artisans. And we deliver them safely with a certificate of authenticity.
You can find them on their website here.

Design has always been a motivating factor in my life. Colours, crafts, and art have fascinated me since before I can remember. I wanted to do something that would elevate my passion for art while making meaningful change at a grassroots level.
So I resolved to build something of my own from scratch. A venture that would make an impact in other people’s (our master artisans’) lives who often find it chaotic to keep up with their businesses in this digital era.
I think our customer base can be divided into two parts – first are of course the enthusiasts of fine art and craft. And the other is the ones who are mostly in a lookout to own or give exquisite gifts.
Our brand’s USP lies in our uniquely curated catalogue. And on the fact that our products are directly sourced from the homes of our nationally revered master artisans.
This ensures that all the products listed on our website are truly authentic. They also reflect years of dedication and hard work that are put by their craftsmen. Our blue pottery and brass are undoubtedly the best selling categories. Talking about handlooms, our hand-knotted rugs and chanderi sarees attract a lot of customers.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
