Driven by Design & Technology, Indic Inspirations plans to change the way India’s cultural products are designed, marketed, and distributed.
Commenting on the development, Sunil Jalihal, Founder-CEO, Indic Inspirations, “India with its rich culture, heritage, traditions, and its achievements, it is sad that we don’t have products and souvenirs that represent them. On the contrary, other countries are monetizing our ideas and concepts like Yoga and Haldi. We aim to tap a ₹10,000 crores Indian souvenir market with our collection of products. And with the ongoing buzz around ‘Make in India’ and ‘Indian Pride’ along with consumers and corporates looking for alternatives to Chinese Products, the opportunities are endless to revive our Arts & Crafts and artisanal earnings.”
The company has built many unique products with best-in-class packaging – for contemporary utilities, addressing the interests of consumers – not just Him & Her! The brand through its partnerships – with rich content owners such as ISRO, ASI, BORI, and bulk consumer endpoints including Institutions and Corporates, plans to deliver many valuable products. Indic Inspirations designs manufacture, packages, and markets Home Décor, Indic Souvenirs, Personal & Corporate Gifting products.
