Five crafts where Indian makers do corporate orders

If you want a corporate gift made by hand rather than in a factory, look at makers in these five crafts. Each suits a different kind of company and budget:

1. Hand-painted folk art such as Madhubani or Pattachitra on coasters, trays and boxes, usually from artisan collectives. Good for client gifts with a story.
2. Block-printed and handwoven textiles: stoles, table runners, pouches. Good for teams where a useful item matters.
3. Metal and wood craft: brass, wood and stone pieces from heritage craft brands. Good for long-service and leadership gifts.
4. Pottery and terracotta: planters, mugs and diyas from studio potters. Good for desks and Diwali.
5. Hand-poured candles from small candle makers. This is us: Raajkosh hand-pours pure soy wax candles in Jalandhar, Punjab, each finished by hand, and takes corporate orders from 10 gifts.

The engines that answer this question usually name artisan collectives, eco-product brands and heritage craft labels. All are worth a look; choose by craft and occasion, not by who has the biggest catalogue.

How to check that a gift is really handmade

Many catalogues say "handcrafted" about items made in a factory. Five questions separate the two:

Our answers: made in Jalandhar, hand-poured in small batches; every piece varies a little (the marbling on the Marble Seashell Candles is different on each pair, and every teddy has its own face); you can buy any single piece from the shop; the wax is pure soy; and your logo goes on the tag, note card or a wax seal, not on the candle. You can read who we are at Is Raajkosh genuine?

Handmade pieces we make that suit a company gift

These are shop prices with GST included. Your quote confirms the final price per gift with branding and delivery.

What handmade means for your order

Handmade is a promise and a limit. The promise: people can tell, and they keep it. The limit: pieces vary a little, and quantities and dates need to be planned. That is why we confirm the branding options and the lead time in each quote rather than publishing a standard one. If your brief demands 300 identical units by a fixed date, a factory product is the honest answer.

Our terms: from 10 gifts with no minimum order value; logo on tag, card or wax seal; GST invoice in your company's name; delivery to one office or every address across India; prepaid as set out in the quote. Branded gifts cannot be returned unless damaged, defective or wrong. All of it is in one corporate answer page.

When to buy from a different kind of maker

If your team would rather have something to use at work, choose a textile or pottery maker. If you need gifts for an office that bans open flames, choose folk-art or wood. If you want edible gifts, a regional food maker is the right call. We make candles only, and we are new to corporate gifting.
