Our Story

From a small idea to India's first AI-powered crochet marketplace

2020

The Beginning

KnitKart began with a simple observation: countless talented crochet artisans across India lacked access to markets that appreciated their craftsmanship and would pay them fairly. We witnessed firsthand how these skilled artisans struggled to find customers beyond local markets.

Building the Foundation

After extensive research and consultation with artisans and designers, we developed the concept for KnitKart – a dedicated platform that would bridge the gap between talented creators and appreciative consumers while leveraging technology to enhance the creative process.

Expertise & Vision

Our co-founder brings over 30 years of experience in knitting and crocheting to KnitKart. This deep expertise has shaped our understanding of both the craft's traditions and the challenges artisans face in the modern marketplace. Her passion for these traditional crafts forms the backbone of KnitKart's mission.
