Bringing about social change can be a mindful task. Communities today are severely fragmented, with technology and globalization being among the contributing factors to the increasing distance between social groups. 

If you have decided to become more aware of your purchases this 2022, understanding a brand’s philosophy and purpose can help you make informed buys. 

Ikikai seeks to bridge the gap between the fragmented communities of India by facilitating a sustainable partnership ecosystem with: 

1. Emerging artists across India 
2. Small businesses, predominantly women-led
3. Social organizations 
4. NGOs 

Ikikai partners with artists across the different communities to promote products that are curated with love and consciously-sourced. Each product boasts skill and design, showcasing the eye for detail that the creators should be recognized for. 

All Ikikai products are created by artisans across India who adhere to exacting standards to ensure that the quality of the product delivered is top notch. Additionally, your purchase from Ikikai is made with love and some of the most ethically and consciously sourced materials in the country. 

Each product listed on the website undergoes rigorous quality checks before it is shipped to the customer. 

With sustainability being among the core tenets of the brand, the packaging of each product is environment-friendly, reusable and sustainable as well! 

Finally, the significant social impact that every purchase has on the communities listed above make sustainable shopping a rewarding and engaging experience. 

Making the shift from mainstream shopping to environment and socially-conscious shopping may require mindful effort. The benefits, however,  are plenty and profound!
