Artisans’ Wizard recently closed a funding round.
Most of the capital will go toward technology enhancement, including AI, platform upgrades, and seller experience.
A smaller portion is allocated for marketing and growth.
The company partnered with the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the Society for Eradication of Rural Poverty.
This partnership resulted in four world records, including the largest e-commerce onboarding drive and the largest training program for rural artisans in digital commerce.

The global handmade products market is valued at nearly $900 billion today and is projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2030.
Artisans often face middlemen, limited market access, and shrinking incomes.
Many traditional art forms are fading due to lack of direct market access.

Logistics uses India Post as micro-warehousing hubs to reach rural areas.
The B2B revenue stream includes corporate gifting, employee gifting, client engagement, and CSR initiatives.
The company has onboarded over 12,000 sellers.
