About the organization

For the past two decades, Industree has been working on regenerative economic transformation of India’s most vulnerable women by unleashing their abilities to build and scale self-owned collective enterprises, able to leverage economies of scale. A holistic ecosystem built on digital and financial services, enables them to use design, technical, marketing and management solutions to bridge the urban-rural divide. Industree has already impacted 500,000 lives and ensured cumulative market access of over 58 M USD, with a clear focus on Equity, Gender, and Climate. Its work ensures that women in communities have access to work close to their homes, becoming part of mainstream value chains with customers such as IKEA, H&M Home, Fabindia, and the Future Group, in climate-positive value chains. This gives them greater control over their economic security and also significantly improves social gains such as a stronger voice in their families and communities, access to social security, better health care, improved nutritional and educational outcomes for their children, and resilience to crises. Their ownership of net positive creative production value chains gives them added confidence as societal agents of change

Today, Industree has built an ecosystem that is directly impacting creative producers under diverse initiatives, some of which are :

  • GreenKraft,  a 100% women producer-owned social enterprise that manufactures high-quality hand-woven baskets made by upcycling. banana bark and other natural fibers
  • Ektha,  a producer-owned social enterprise creating contemporary clothing and accessories.  It also has embroidery units where producers create hand-embroidered designs, adding value to products.
  • Flourish is a producer-owned, global e-commerce platform curated with ethically sourced environment-friendly products across categories like apparel, jewelry, home decor, toys, and accessories.
  • Forest Green, an initiative to empower tribal women by giving them opportunities to leverage forest-based enterprises.
  • KIND Ethiopia, a brand of products created by artisan collectives aggregated into producer companies.
  • Creative Dignity, a movement that has brought together diverse creative producers, practitioners, and professionals to energize the ecosystem that Indian artisans need in this time of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 impact. The Creative Dignity collective envisions a world where artisans have the agency to thrive with dignity."
  • CoLive (Community Livelihoods Coalition) has come together for the protection of India’s most vulnerable communities, which include artisans. CoLive currently has about 87 organization members and works with existing Covid collaborations-Covid Action Collaborative (CAC), Rapid Rural Community Response (RCRC), and Creative Dignity (CD).

Our approach is a way of being where we believe in women's abundant and untapped strength s leaders for a brighter planet and a better humanity. We fuel this potential by supporting woman-led enterprises that create high-quality people and planet-friendly products. Our women are well-placed to lead this sector collectively. Women’s natural ability to create, collaborate, protect, and nurture becomes transformational in the creative economy. These abilities are fundamental in climate change mitigation, disaster reduction and adaptation strategies, as well as in developing culture and nature-based solutions. This is Industree’s inspiration and aspiration.
