Local Artisan Marketplace
e-commerce platform
2024A platform that connects local artisans in Nagaland with businesses looking for unique handmade products. The marketplace allows artisans to showcase their crafts, manage orders, and handle payments, while businesses can source authentic local goods directly from the creators, promoting local culture and economy.

- Empower Local Artisans: Provide a user-friendly platform where artisans can list, manage, and sell their products.
- Preserve Cultural Identity: Promote traditional crafts and products unique to specific regions.
- Enhance Market Access: Enable artisans to reach a global audience with minimal barriers.
- Promote Sustainable Commerce: Encourage buyers to support local economies and adopt eco-friendly practices.
- Build Community Trust: Offer secure payments, transparent reviews, and verified artisan profiles.
