Let’s Take Rural India to the World — Together
Behind every authentic product is a story — a recipe preserved by a family, a craft perfected by an artisan, a product unique to a region, a material shaped by skilled hands, or a manufacturer willing to create something different.
At Gavathi, we want to discover these stories, work with the people behind them and create products that can reach a much larger audience.
If you create something authentic, distinctive or deeply connected to rural India, we would love to hear from you.

Quality
We want products that customers can trust and enjoy.
Craftsmanship
We appreciate attention to detail and the human skill behind well-made products.
Originality
We are especially interested in products, techniques and ideas that customers do not encounter everywhere.

Responsible Practices
Materials, sourcing and manufacturing should comply with applicable laws and responsible business practices.
