Our Story
Everyone has a story of how it all began and this is ours.
We consider ourselves lucky to be surrounded by individuals who share our passion for the environment, including artists, travellers, business professionals, and designers. Fundamentally, we are all united by a profound dedication to protecting the environment.
The more worrying facts were that in India alone we dump 9+ million tonnes of plastic every year. Also I have travelled amazing places over the years and most importantly from the rich heritage of India where i seen very beautiful art and craft products, also seen that Indian handicrafts are dying largely due to modernization and technological advancements.
I still remember a weekend at home with family, neighbors and friends, discussing handcraft and modernization, the global crisis on climate change and plastic pollution with. It was clear to all that we witness this everyday but we do not really knew what to do about it, where to actually begin.
Simultaneously, I seek plastic-free, chemical-free, and safe cloth items, toys, and accessories for my newborn daughter. And I start creating handmade cloths and toys for my daughter. She loved that toys a lot. Which give me inspiration to start a new journey of help underprivileged communities and spreed joy Joy & Craft.
I intend to make the adjustment to a new lifestyle easier by sharing my story with you. This was also how the original concept for Joy & Craft originated.
