Tvami is a social enterprise which derives inspiration from the Sanskrit word tvam, which means the “very essence” or “true nature”. We aim to connect customers to their roots, to where it all began. We would like to give voice to a collective history and make artisans the protagonists of their own stories. We believe that our crafts are not just reminiscent of the past, but are sustainable enough to be the very basis to move forward into the future. We would like to create career opportunities in villages across India where our artisans can practice their crafts, without getting sidelined in the rush to make ends meet during times of difficulty such as COVID-19 pandemic. And that future generations are able to clearly see the economic viability of carrying on these traditions. In particular, empowering artisans for whom honing these skills is as vital as managing their household’s income.
